Instructions

Warm the milk to 110-115°F and mix it with sugar and yeast; let sit until foamy (5-10 minutes).
In a bowl, combine melted butter, eggs (or flaxseed meal/applesauce), and vinegar. Add to yeast mixture.
In another bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt; combine with wet ingredients until smooth.
Knead dough gently on a floured surface until slightly tacky but not sticky.
Allow dough to rise in a greased bowl covered with a cloth until doubled (30-45 minutes).
Roll dough into a rectangle, spread softened butter over it, sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mix.
Roll tightly into a log and cut into pieces; place in a greased baking dish.
