Gluten Free Single Serve Cinnamon Roll
by: claire cary
This gluten free single serve cinnamon roll is the perfect sweet treat! It's easy to make, perfect for just 1-2 people and even vegan friendly. It's soft with a gooey center and so easy to make.
Ingredients
Dry
- ½ cup Bob's Red Mill gluten free bread flour/mix
- 1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
- ¾ teaspoon instant yeast
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Wet
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 3 tablespoons milk dairy or non-dairy
- ½ teaspoon water
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Filling
- 1 tablespoon butter melted then cooled
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Glaze
- 1 teaspoon butter softened
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese softened
- 3-4 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon milk
Instructions
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together all dry ingredients. Discard the yeast packet that comes with the bread mix, you want to use instant yeast here.
- In a small cup or bowl, add in the milk and water under "wet ingredients." Warm in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
- Stir in the melted butter to that mixture. Check the temperature and ensure it is between 105 and 115 degrees Fahrenheit. I like using this meat thermometer.
- Once the proper temperature, pour into the dry ingredients with the vanilla and mix well.
- Lightly flour your hands, then knead the dough for about 2-3 minutes. It may be sticky, so flour your hands more if needed.
- Transfer to a generously floured piece of parchment paper. Using a floured rolling pin, roll into a roughly 1/4 inch thick rectangle.
- Whisk together the cinnamon and sugar.
- Brush the dough with the melted then cooled butter, then sprinkle on the cinnamon sugar.
- Using a pizza cutter, slice the dough in half the long way. Take one piece and roll up like a normal cinnamon roll, then connect it to the other piece and continue rolling.
- Add to a small ramekin and cover lightly. Let rise in a dark and warm environment for one hour.
- Toward the end of the hour, preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit.
- Bake the roll for 18-22 minutes or until the outer edge is lightly golden brown. 20 is usually perfect in my oven, but they're all different.
- Meanwhile, whisk together all ingredients for the glaze until smooth.
- Let the roll cool for a few minutes, then pour the glaze on top and enjoy!
Notes
You can try subbing the bread flour for regular gluten free all purpose baking flour, but I do think you will get the best results with bread flour!
