Blue Ribbon Orange Scented Gluten Free Cinnamon Rolls Recipes

HOMEMADE GLUTEN-FREE CINNAMON ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine sugar and yeast for dough in a small bowl. Mix 1 3/4 cups flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, baking soda, and salt together in a second bowl.
• Place milk and butter in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high, stirring every 15 seconds, until 110 to 115 degrees F (43 to 46 degrees C), about 45 seconds. Whisk into the yeast mixture and set aside to proof, about 5 minutes.
• Combine proofed yeast with olive oil, egg, and vanilla extract in a large bowl; mix for a moment and then slowly add in the flour mixture. Mix with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until dough thickens and loses some of its stickiness, about 1 1/2 minutes.
• Cover a work surface with a sheet of good quality plastic wrap and a light layer of flour. Place dough in the center and cover with a little more flour and another sheet of plastic wrap. Roll out to a 10x13-inch rectangle; remove top layer of plastic wrap.
• Combine brown sugar and cinnamon for filling in a small bowl. Spread melted butter over the entire dough rectangle and sprinkle brown sugar mixture evenly over top.
• Start at a long edge and roll the dough, using the plastic wrap to help lift and roll as you go. Lightly sprinkle dough with more flour and cut into 10 pieces with a sharp knife. Place rolls in a greased baking pan, cover with plastic wrap, and place in a warm spot to rise for 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake rolls in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown, 22 to 27 minutes.
• While rolls are baking, beat butter and cream cheese for frosting in a mixing bowl until smooth. Add powdered sugar; mix until smooth. Mix in lemon juice, vanilla extract, and salt.
• Remove cinnamon rolls from the oven and immediately drizzle frosting over top.

Steps:

• 1. For the dough: In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the eggs, granulated sugar, and salt. Combine the warm milk and margarine and add to the egg mixture. While mixing slowly, gradually add 4 cups of the flour; beat to combine. Add the yeast and mix thoroughly. Add the remaining 4 cups flour and mix on medium speed for about 7 minutes to make a soft dough.
• 2. Turn the dough out of the bowl. Knead briefly and form into a ball. Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• 3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• 4. For the filling: Turn the dough onto a work surface and roll into a 1 1/2 by 2-foot rectangle. Spread the margarine over the dough and sprinkle the entire surface with the brown sugar, cinnamon, and chopped pecans. Roll the dough up into a cylinder starting with a long edge, and then cut into 12 slices. Lay the slices in an oiled baking pan and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Let cool.
• 5. For the icing: Whisk the confectioners' sugar, salt, and almond extract together in a large bowl. Whisk in a tablespoon of margarine at a time until combined. (This will look a little crumbly.) Slowly whisk in the milk to make a thick glaze. Drizzle the glaze over the rolls; set aside for a couple minutes for the glaze to set. Serve.

Steps:

• Topping: Over low heat, in a small saucepan, heat 4 T butter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 2 aT corn syrup, stirring until sugar dissolves. ac 1 t orange extract, 2 T whipping cream and a pinch of salt. Stir to incorporate. Remove from heat and pour into the bottom of a greased 9 in round cake pan. Filling: Combine all filling ingredients. Set aside until the dough has been rolled into a rectangle. Dough: Mix all dry ingredients until combined. Set aside. Put water and butter in microwave just until butter is melted. Stir. Add milk, stir. Add other wet ingredients and whisk to combine. With stand mixer running (using the paddle attachment), pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Scrape down the bowl if necessary. Mix on medium speed for 3 minutes. Lay plastic wrap on a slightly damp counter top. Sprinkle 2 T sugar on the wrap. Lay ball of dough on top. Gently lay another piece of plastic wrap over the dough. Pat the dough down. Roll the dough out (with the plastic wrap on top) to a square approximately 8 in x 16 in. Remove top plastic wrap. Spread filling evenly across dough's surface. Leave 1 1/2 in along one long end without any filling. Starting along the long end, use the bottom sheet of plastic wrap to lift the edge of the dough and roll it up, forming a long cylinder. Start with the edge that has filling on it. Cut into 8 pieces, about 1 1/2 in wide. (unflavored floss does a great job) Place rolls in prepared pan, with cut side up. Gently pat rolls down to about 1 1/2 in high. Allow the rolls to rise in a warm, draft free place for about 30 minutes, or until nearly double in size. (oven on warm works well) Bake in preheated 350 degree F oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are a nice golden brown. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes before inverting on a serving tray, and letting the syrup run down over the rolls. ENJOY!!!
