Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Combine gluten-free flour, sugar, yeast, and salt in a stand mixer. Gradually add warm milk and eggs, mixing until a sticky dough forms.
  2. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm area for 1 to 1.5 hours until it’s doubled in size.
  3. For the filling, mix melted butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon until sandy. Set aside.
  4. Roll dough into a 12x18-inch rectangle. Spread filling evenly, roll tightly, and seal the edges.
  5. Slice the log into 8 pieces and place on a lined baking sheet. Cover and let rise for an additional 1.5 to 2 hours.
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush rolls with milk and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Brush with melted butter, mix icing ingredients, and drizzle icing over warm rolls.
