Instructions
 

Preparing the Dough

  • Mix psyllium husks with warm water and let it sit until it forms a gel.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer, add the tapioca flour, millet flour, cassava flour, yeast, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt to the sugar mixture, mixing well.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, add in the psyllium gel, warm milk, egg, and melted butter.
  • Using the dough hook attachment of a stand mixer, mix until the dough is smooth and pulls away from the sides.

Assembling the Rolls

  • Butter a 14-inch cast iron skillet or round baking dish.
  • Mix ⅓ cup melted butter, ⅓ cup brown sugar and 1 tablespoon cinnamon for the filling.
  • Roll out the gluten-free dough on a floured surface with a rolling pin, spread the filling evenly, slice into strips with a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, and roll each strip.
  • Arrange the rolls in the cast iron skillet for proofing.

Proofing for Baking

  • For best results let the dough rise in a warm spot covered with a tea towel until doubled in size, about an hour to an hour and a half, then bake rolls in a preheated 350ºF oven. Cover with foil for the first 15 minutes, then uncover and bake until golden about 20-25 minutes.

Preparing the Icing

  • Whisk cream cheese and butter until smooth, then add sugar, vanilla, and salt, followed by lemon curd.
  • Spread the icing over warm rolls.

Serving and Storage

  • Enjoy the rolls warm, storing any leftovers in an airtight container and briefly reheating before serving.
