Enjoy your freshly baked gluten-free and dairy-free cinnamon rolls, now with a delightful hint of orange to enhance their flavor!
Ingredients:
Gluten-Free Dough:
¾ cup (180 g) plant-based milk, heated to 110ºF (43ºC)
1 teaspoon (5 g) brown sugar
1 package (9 g) active dry yeast
2 ¼ cups (327 g) gluten-free all-purpose flour
⅓ cup (67 g) brown sugar
1 ½ tablespoons (17 g) psyllium husk powder
1 ½ teaspoons organic baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons (57 g) melted dairy-free butter, slightly cooled
1 large egg, room temperature
Zest of 1 orange (added to the dough for enhanced flavor)
Cinnamon Filling:
4 tablespoons (57 g) coconut oil, melted
½ cup (100 g) brown sugar
1 tablespoon (8 g) ground cinnamon
Orange-Coconut Glaze:
1 can (400 ml) full-fat coconut milk
20 g coconut starch
1 tablespoon (15 g) brown sugar
Instructions:
Activate Yeast: Combine the warm plant-based milk with the brown sugar in a bowl. Sprinkle the yeast over this mixture and allow it to sit until it becomes frothy, about 10 minutes.
2. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, brown sugar, psyllium husk, baking powder, salt, and orange zest. Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix until the dough is evenly combined and slightly sticky.
3. First Rise: Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm area until it doubles in size, roughly 1 hour.
4. Prepare Filling: Stir together the brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Set aside.
5. Form the Rolls: Roll out the dough on a parchment-lined surface that’s been lightly floured. Brush the dough with melted coconut oil, then sprinkle the sugar-cinnamon mixture evenly over the top. Roll up the dough tightly from one end and cut into 12 even slices. Place these slices in a greased baking dish.
6. Second Rise: Allow the rolls to rise for an additional 30 minutes in a warm spot.
7. Make Glaze: In a saucepan, combine the coconut milk, coconut starch, and brown sugar. Heat until thickened, stirring frequently.
8. Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Pour the glaze over the risen rolls. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden and cooked through.
9. Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving, ideally while still warm for the best taste.
