Workable wonder dough and Cinnamon Rolls by Karen Robertson


I found this recipe online and it is amazing! The site credits Wendy Warks Living Healthy with Celiac Disease (AnAffect, 1998).

My kids love the cinnamon rolls that we make out of it and the recipe is easily followed -- Wil, who is 12 years old, was able to make the dough and cinnamon rolls with minimal guidance from me. A very special guest was able to bring home one of Wil's cinnamon rolls to enjoy!

2 tsp. unflavored dry gelatin
2 1/4 tsp. active dry yeast
2/3 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees)
2 tbsp. sugar
2 1/2 cups gluten free flour
2 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
1/4 c. instant nonfat dry milk powder
1/2 tsp. salt
3 tbsp. vegetable oil
2 eggs

Combine gelatin, yeast, water, and sugar together in a two-cup glass measure. Let stand for five minutes, or until foamy. In the bowl of a stand mixer, add flour mix, xanthan gum, milk powder, and salt. Mix briefly, then add oil and eggs, followed by yeast mixture. Beat on high speed for two minutes, using the dough attachment until a soft dough forms. Use dough in favorite recipe.

CINNAMON ROLLS

3 tbsp. butter, melted
2/3 c. brown sugar
2 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 c. raisins (optional)

Roll out the dough to a 9 x 18-inch rectangle, approximately 1/2 inch in thickness. Brush dough with three tbsp. melted butter, avoiding 1/2 inch of edge of dough. Mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins together. Sprinkle evenly over the dough. Beginning at one of the 9-inch sides, roll dough into a log shape. Using a sharp, clean knife, cut log into nine equal pieces. Arrange rolls in prepared pan, packing tightly together and keeping the swirl side up. Cover with a warm, wet towel and let rise one hour in warmed oven. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes. 

While cinnamon rolls are baking, whisk together confectioners sugar and milk in a small bowl. Remove cinnamon rolls from baking pan when done and arrange in serving dish. Drizzle confectioners sugar mixture over hot, baked cinnamon rolls and serve immediately.
