Cinnamon Rolls


1 cup warm milk ,110°-115°F, dairy-free use almond, cashew or coconut milk
1 packet rapid yeast/instant yeast , 2 1/4 teaspoons I used Red Star Instant Yeast
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter , 110°-115°F melted (110°-115°), dairy-free use Earth Balance or Smart Balance
2 eggs , room temperature and whisked
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
**3 1/2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour , I like Pillsbury gluten-free flour. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.
2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum , leave out if your flour already has it in it
Filling
1/2 cup unsalted butter , softened
1 cup brown sugar , packed
1 1/2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

It called for gluten-free flour. -->

**3 1/2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour , I like Pillsbury gluten-free flour. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose.

As someone who also has a far worse intolerance to corn and a substance unknown, I avoid all purpose gluten free flours.  So, instead I used 1 1/2 cup sweet white rice flour, 1 cup of coconut flour, 1/2 cup cassava flour, and 1/2 cup arrowroot. 

It also called for 2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder and 1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum, which I didn't have or don't use.  I used 2 teaspoons of creme de tatar and 1 1/2 teaspoon of ground chia seeds.

Results:

It was a little but drier than I like, but it was probably because the cassava flour and maybe even coconut flour soak up a lot.  I may add a bit more milk next time.

The cinnamon fill and frosting both seemed really too much and too liquid.  Will add more butter, less milk, or refrigerate or something next time.
