Easy Gluten-Free Cinnamon Rolls

subheading: Gluten-Free Dough:

½ cup granulated sugar

1 cup milk, warmed to 110°-115°F You can substitute with unsweetened almond milk.

1 tablespoon instant yeast/rapid yeast I like Fleischmann's RapidRise yeast or Red Star Quick·Rise instant yeast.

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted and cooled You can substitute with dairy-free/vegan butter. I like Smart Balance butter spread.

2 large eggs, room temperature Bring whole eggs to room temperature by placing the eggs (not cracked) in a bowl with warm water for about 5 minutes. You can substitute with Bob's Red Mill gluten-free egg replacer.

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar You can substitute with lemon juice.

3 ¼ cups all-purpose gluten-free flour with xanthan gum I test baked with Better Batter (original), Better Batter Artisan, and Pillsbury gluten-free flour. Not all gluten-free flours are created equal. You may experience different baking results depending on the gluten-free flour blend you choose. Not all brands of gluten-free flour are recommended for yeast baking.

2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder

¼ teaspoon salt

½ cup heavy whipping cream, warmed You can substitute with half and half, whole milk, canned full fat coconut milk, or unsweetened almond milk.
