  • ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 ¼ cup (295ml) warm water
  • 1 cup (236ml) warm whole milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 tablespoons (85g) melted butter
  • 1 cup (200g) brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cinnamon
  • 8 tablespoons (113g) melted butter for topping
  • 8 ounces (226g) softened cream cheese
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) softened butter for frosting
  • 1 ⅓ cup (160g) powdered sugar for frosting
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract for frosting
  • 3 cups (340g) powdered sugar for glaze
  • 1/3 – 1/2 cup milk for glaze
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract for glaze
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Whisk warm water, warm milk, instant yeast, and granulated sugar until yeast starts to froth.
  2. Beat in eggs and melted butter until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the gluten-free flour, salt, and baking powder.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet and mix until a soft sticky dough forms.
  5. Scrape dough into a lightly oiled bowl and cover. Let dough rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
  6. Flour a surface lightly with gluten-free flour and turn dough out. Roll into a rough rectangle about 12 by 16 inches.
  7. Stir brown sugar and cinnamon together in a small bowl.
  8. Brush the rolled dough with melted butter and sprinkle the sugar mixture evenly.
  9. Tightly roll the dough from the long side and pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 even rolls.
  10. Arrange rolls in a greased 9 by 13 pan, cover, and let rise until puffy (30 to 45 minutes).
  11. Preheat oven to 350°F and bake rolls for 20 to 25 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool for 5 minutes.
  12. For the cream cheese frosting, beat cream cheese and softened butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and vanilla; beat until thick.
  13. Spread frosting on warm rolls to melt into the swirls.
  14. For the simple glaze, whisk powdered sugar with milk, vanilla, and salt until pourable. Drizzle over rolls and let set slightly before serving.

Notes

For best results, keep ingredients at room temperature. You can prepare the dough, slice the rolls, and refrigerate overnight to bake fresh in the morning.
