Rolling and baking gluten-free cinnamon rolls
Tip :) Always use a kitchen scale for our recipes and for weighing the flour.
Yeast dough:
See the instructions "Basic yeast dough recipe". You can also find the recipe here on our website.

For the filling:
- Ideally, weigh out the butter 1 hour in advance and set it aside to come to room temperature. It is important that it spreads well and easily. Peel the apple, grate it coarsely and drizzle with a little lemon juice. Mix the cinnamon and sugar.
- Roll out the yeast dough into a rectangle, then first spread the butter evenly over the dough, then distribute the grated apple and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar. Roll up the dough from the long side and cut it into slices 2-3 cm thick.
- Grease a baking dish or large springform pan with butter and place the rolls in the dish cut side down (or up). Don't place them too close together, as they still need a little room to rise. Cover the dish and leave the rolls to rise for another 30 minutes in a warm, draught-free place.
- Bake the cinnamon rolls in a preheated oven (200 °C, top and bottom heat) for 25 minutes. In the meantime, mix all the glaze ingredients and spread over the freshly baked rolls. Let the cinnamon rolls cool for about 20 minutes before serving.
