โญ Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend (with xanthan gum) (Best Gluten-Free Option)
1:1 (1 cup gluten-free blend per 1 cup all-purpose flour)Gluten-free all-purpose blends are formulated to replicate wheat flour properties but lack natural gluten. Xanthan gum or similar binders are necessary to provide elasticity and structure for yeast doughs like cinnamon rolls.
Ensure the blend contains xanthan gum or add 1/2 tsp per cup of flour. Dough will be stickier and less elastic; proofing times may differ. Use gentle handling and avoid overproofing to prevent collapse.
Cinnamon rolls made with gluten-free blends will be softer and more delicate, with a crumbly texture and less chewiness, but can still be flavorful and tender if properly managed.
