Northwoodsmama Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 This is my go-to recipe for sweet rolls, but as of April I have a child with celiac. Has anyone made cinnamon rolls successfully using the 1:1 GF flour mixtures? I haven't yet ventured into the realm of mixing flours yet. I mixed the dough earlier but so far no sign of rising😠Any tips? Recipes? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lang Syne Boardie Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 (edited) No, that won't work. :( The 1:1 mixes are for quick breads only. Try Bobs Red Mill GF pizza crust mix; it's our favorite for cinnamon rolls! They won't be the same texture, no matter which flour mix or method, but the flavor will be good. Edited to link the recipe...this will get you started as a beginner gf cook. There are better recipes out there once you get used to working with a zillion flours and methods! But if your child needs a cinnamon roll now, start here. :) http://www.bobsredmill.com/recipes/how-to-make/gluten-free-cinnamon-rolls/ Edited July 29, 2016 by Tibbie Dunbar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aaplank Posted July 29, 2016 Share Posted July 29, 2016 Oh yes, Bob's Red Mill pizza crust mix makes the best cinnamon rolls!! Just FYI, I've heard rumors that Bob's flours have some cross contamination issues, so if your daughter is very sensitive you might try an alternative GF pizza crust mix but use Bob's recipe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic Mom Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 These are the best GF cinnamon rolls. They use 123 Biscuit mix. (I've tried numerous recipes- daughter was diagnosed before celiac was cool (2003).) Cinnamon Buns Make a package of 123 biscuit mix. Roll it out between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. Carefully, remove top piece of plastic wrap. Top dough with: 6 TBS melted butter Then, sprinkle with: 1 cup sugar 1/3 cup cinnamon Roll up dough. Slice into pieces and place in greased 9†cake pan. Brush with heavy cream. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour. Cook for 40 minutes at 375. While still hot, top with: 1 cup powdered sugar 3 TBS butter 2 tsp milk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what the rumors are re: Bob's, but I have always found Bob's to be very careful company re: cc. I'd hate to see a company who was one of the first to address cc and make GF products lose business because of 'rumors'. However, if you have sources/facts please share because that would be very important to get out to the GF community. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pink&bluemommy Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 I have a celiac son (diagnosed a year ago). I have kind of given up on cinnamon rolls right now - they just aren't the same. But we have liked this cinnamon swirl quick bread (http://glutenfreeonashoestring.com/cinnamon-swirl-gluten-free-quick-bread/) made with better batter flour (a little pricey but I just bought 25 lbs for the lowest price I've seen and it makes spectacular cookies). Cinnamon swirl pancakes are a big hit too. http://www.recipegirl.com/2011/03/01/cinnamon-roll-pancakes/ Just sub in your favorite gf pancakes and use their swirl recipe. There is plenty of swirl for a 2 cup of flour pancake recipe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can make of it what you will, and do your own research about the cross contamination issues of Bob's if you are interested. I just wanted to give the heads up because my own daughter has had issues with Bob's.

cintinative Posted July 30, 2016 Share Posted July 30, 2016 This is my favorite gluten-free cinnamon roll recipe for when you are ready to try different flours and do your own thing. They are just amazing. I think I have tried three recipes and this one wins hands-down. People can't tell they are gluten-free. FYI, I use the millet flour. http://www.food.com/recipe/cinnabon-ish-cinnamon-rolls-gluten-free-376575 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son has Celiac too. I know the transition is hard. Hang in there. We are on year five. The first year was the hardest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northwoodsmama Posted July 31, 2016 Author Share Posted July 31, 2016 I'm thankful for the recipes that were shared. I know I won't be able to find GF dough that's comparable but it would be nice. The prepackaged mixes for pancakes and muffins that we've tried have been ok, but not great. I'm hopeful that there are recipes out there that are better...this child is also diabetic so she's no stranger to compromise but it still is hard.

I don't know what the substitutions are for diabetics, but for pancakes, we use the Alton Brown Pancake recipe and I sub 3/4 cup gluten free flour for every 1 cup of All purpose. All of the rest is the same. If you can sub something for sugar, maybe it would work? Since we usually make one batch regular and one batch GF, I only make 1/6th of the dry mix recipe for GF. It usually makes about six to seven pancakes. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/instant-pancake-mix-recipe.html this is the GF flour recipe I use. It works great in all sorts of recipes. http://www.artofglutenfreebaking.com/2009/11/the-story-behind-my-gluten-free-flour-mix/ Edited August 4, 2016 by cintinative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
