• 2 teaspoons cinnamon

Frosting Ingredients  **Or if you prefer click here for Sprouted Roots’ yummy Cream Cheese Frosting

• 16 ounces powdered sugar
• 1/2 cup butter at room temperature (substitute coconut oil if you want dairy free)
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 1/4 cup rice milk

DIRECTIONS

1.  Take  1/2 cup of butter out to warm to room temperature.  

2.  Add yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and water to a small bowl.  Mix and allow to froth, about 5 minutes.

3.  In a large bowl mix together brown rice flour mix, salt, 1/4 cup sugar, and xanthan gum.

4.  In a small bowl add the whole egg, yolk and apple cider vinegar.   Slightly beat and add yeast mixture to egg mixture.  Slowly add in melted butter while mixing.  Lastly, mix combined egg and yeast mixture into flour mixture.

5.  Mix 1/4 cup sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl and set aside.

6.  Add a tablespoon of melted butter to the bottom of a baking dish.

7.  Form dough into a ball.  Flour the dough ball liberally and roll out flat onto floured waxed paper about 12″ x 6″ (make sure the waxed paper is floured well to keep the dough from sticking).  Working briskly at this point, smear 1/2 cup room temperature butter on top and then sprinkle sugar/cinnamon mixture on top.  Carefully roll, starting with a short side, with floured fingers. Cut into 10 rolls, about 2″ thick and place into the buttered baking dish.

8.  Cover with a towel and set in a warm place to allow the dough to rise, about 1 1/2 hours.

9.  Preheat oven @ 400 degrees F.

10.  Place in the oven and bake until done and brown, about 25-30 minutes.                                                                                                                    

11.  To make frosting, combine powdered sugar, butter, salt, vanilla, and milk in a mixing bowl.  Mix until creamy.

12.  Frost cinnamon rolls and serve.

 

Chef Notes:

*This dough will be a bit more softer than a traditional dough so be sure to keep the dough well floured while rolling it out.  Also keep your hands and the surface you are rolling it out on well floured.  The rolling, filling, rolling, and cutting steps should all be done pretty fast since the dough is so soft and it becomes softer the longer it sits.
