If you are looking for a healthy and delicious cinnamon caramel roll to start your day or send your kids off to school with, I know this gluten-free version will help replace the ingredients those with food allergies can't have and satisfy those in the family that do not have those food restrictions.. Enjoy!
Gluten-free Bread or Cinnamon Carmel Rolls
1/2 cup potato starch
1/1/2 cup Gluten-free all-purpose rice flour
1/2 cup millet flour*
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum**
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2/1/4 teaspoon yeast
1 cup warm water
2 tablespoons maple syrup
2 eggs or egg replacer
2 tablespoons neutral-flavored oil
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
*I sometimes replace half of the millet with oat and buckwheat flour.
**May need to increase xanthan gum to 1 teaspoon if the bread is not rising well.
For a bread loaf: Grease and flour one medium-size loaf pan. Make the dough by combining first 5 dry ingredients. Tip: I always place the bowl of flour in a larger bowl, halfway filled with hot water, to warm those first 5 dry ingredients. This helps the loaf to rise better. Set flour aside. Warm the water and maple syrup slightly before adding in yeast. Stir yeast to dissolve and cover for at least 5 minutes until it foams on top. In standing mixer, add oil, vinegar, eggs and yeast mixture. On top of liquid ingredients add dry ingredients that were set aside. Sprinkle salt on top of flour. Start the mixer and blend all ingredients on medium speed for a minute or two to help the dough with elasticity. The dough will be the consistency of a thick batter. Scoop into greased loaf pan. Place pan on back of stovetop while stove is preheating. Cover with parchment paper, to be used late so top of bread doesn't over brown. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake for 50 minutes. Note: After 40 minutes of baking, place parchment on top of bread loaf before removing loaf.
Recipe adjustment for sourdough bread or rolls: Increase xanthan gum to 1/2 teaspoon, eliminate 1 egg and the vinegar. Reduce millet flour to 1/4 cup. Add in all of the kombucha sourdough starter. Follow the rest of the original recipe.
For caramel rolls: Make your favorite cinnamon roll filling and follow. For a low-glycemic version, see "Treat Your Health" low-glycemic cookbook. Available on Barnes & Noble and other participating stores.
Note: Since this recipe makes a thick batter, it cannot be rolled out like yeast dough. For that reason, spread half of the caramel mixture on bottom of loaf pan, next layer half of the batter over this mixture, spread remaining caramel filling and cover caramel filling with remaining batter.
