Notes
To make these Texas Roadhouse Rolls with Honey Cinnamon Butter gluten free, replace the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend designed for yeast breads.
Use a blend that contains xanthan gum or add xanthan gum according to the flour brand’s recommendation.
Confirm that the active dry yeast, confectioner’s sugar, ground cinnamon, honey, butter, and all packaged ingredients are labeled gluten free.
Use clean mixing bowls, measuring cups, dough hooks, spatulas, baking sheets, and serving utensils to prevent gluten cross-contact.
Gluten-free yeast dough may be softer and stickier than traditional dough, so avoid adding too much extra flour.
Allow the gluten-free dough to rise in a warm place, but note that the final rolls may be slightly less stretchy and fluffy than wheat-based rolls.
