Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 tablespoon cane sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 cups gluten-free flour blend
  • ½ cup cane sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter (frozen)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • ½ cup cane sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
  • ¼ cup cane sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk to approximately 110º F. Stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar and the yeast. Allow it to sit until frothy, about 5-7 minutes.

  6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
  7. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup sugar and 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon.
  8. Evenly sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture over the dough, then roll it tightly into logs and cut the logs into strips.
  9. Twist each strip into a spiral shape and place it into a greased muffin pan.
  10. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and place in the warm oven to rise for about 30 minutes.
  11. Increase the oven temperature to 375º F and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  12. Brush the tops with melted butter and roll them in a mixture of ¼ cup sugar and ½ teaspoon cinnamon.
