- ⅓ cup (65g) granulated sugar
- 2¼ teaspoons instant yeast (1 packet)
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1¼ cup (295ml) water (at room temperature)
- 1 cup (236ml) whole milk (at room temperature)
- 2 large eggs
- 6 tablespoons (85g) melted butter
- 1 cup (213g) brown sugar (optional)

- 1–2 tablespoons milk of choice (optional)

Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free bread flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, kosher salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, whole milk, and melted butter. Add the eggs and mix until combined.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring to form a sticky dough. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes.
- In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar and ground cinnamon for the filling.
- Dust a clean surface with gluten-free flour and roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 15×10 inches and ½ inch thick.
- Brush rolled-out dough with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Roll the dough into a log and slice into 12 equal pieces.
- Arrange 6 pieces on a lined baking sheet in a circle, then cut the remaining 6 in half and place them inside the outer ring.
- Cover and let rise for another 20-30 minutes. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Let cool slightly.
- For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth, then drizzle over the wreath.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with almond or oat milk, and use coconut or vegan butter. If short on time, consider using store-bought gluten-free cinnamon roll dough.
