NEW! Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls
|
Hi Reader! If you’ve been missing real cinnamon rolls since going gluten-free… this one’s for you. These gluten-free cinnamon rolls are soft, fluffy, and topped with cream cheese frosting that melts right into the spirals. I tested them again and again to make sure they taste just like the ones you remember — not just good for gluten-free, but truly good. What Makes This Recipe DifferentThis recipe also takes a different approach than most gluten-free cinnamon rolls you’ll find online. Instead of using a store-bought flour blend, we’re building our own from brown rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, and xanthan gum. Why? Most commercial blends aren’t designed for yeast doughs — they just can’t rise the same way. I also skipped gluten-free bread flours this time since many of them contain gluten-free wheat starch, which means they’re not safe for anyone with a wheat allergy. I wanted this recipe to be both gluten-free and wheat-free since so many of you have mentioned to me you have a wheat intolerance or allergy and cannot make my gluten-free focaccia recipes since they use Caputo Fioreglut. Psyllium Husk is the KEY to this DoughAnd here’s something new you’ll start seeing in more of my yeast-based recipes — psyllium husk. It’s a plant-based fiber that helps gluten-free dough hold its shape and stay soft instead of crumbly. I use the whole husk version (not the powder), and it makes the dough so much easier to work with. The result? Cinnamon rolls that bake up tall, fluffy, and tender — with that perfect soft bite and gooey center. Check out the cross section of the cinnamon roll below!

Hi Reader! I'm going to be honest with you. My brain is absolute mush right now. February has that effect. The holidays are a distant memory, spring feels far away, and every night around 5pm I stare into the fridge like it owes me an explanation. If you're in the same late-winter fog, I've got you. Here are five of my easiest, most comforting gluten-free dinners. These are the ones I reach for when I have zero brainpower left but still want to eat well without thinking too hard. Bacon...
Hi Reader! If you're anything like me, tomorrow is going to involve a lot of time on the couch, and I'm not mad about it. The winter games just kicked off in Italy (that opening ceremony!), the big game is tomorrow, and honestly, that's a perfectly good excuse to spend the whole day snacking. Whether you're watching figure skating, football, or flipping back and forth between both, here are six gluten-free recipes to keep your spread stocked all day long. They're easy to pull together, some...
Hi Reader! Remember my enriched yeast dough I used in my gluten-free dinner rolls? Well, I fried it. These gluten-free fried donuts are light, pillowy, and taste like real yeasted donuts. Not baked cake donuts in a pan. Actual fried donuts like you'd get at Dunkin, but better. This is the same base as my cinnamon rolls, crescent rolls and dinner rolls, so if you loved those, you're going to love these too. Finish with thick vanilla glaze and sprinkles, or keep it simple and toss in sugar...
