Ingredients

  • 23 cups Rice Flour
  • 13 cups Tapioca Starch
  • 3/4 cups Cornstarch
  • 1/2 cups Potato Starch
  • 2- 1/4 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoons Salt
  • 2 teaspoons Xanthan Gum
  • 3/4 cups Milk
  • 13 cups Corn Syrup Or Honey
  • 1 whole Egg
  • 13 cups Oil
  • 8 ounces, weight Cream Cheese, At Room Temperature
  • 1/2 cups Sugar
  • 1/2 whole Lemon, Juiced
  • 1 cup Cranberry Jam
  • 1/2 cups Powdered Sugar
  • 1- 1/2 Tablespoon Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract

Method

  • For the pastry:
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer, combine the rice flour, tapioca starch, cornstarch, potato starch, yeast, salt and xanthan gum.
  • Mix on low until combined.
  • Add the milk, corn syrup/honey, egg and oil, and mix on medium speed until a dough is formed.
  • Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover bowl with plastic wrap, and let dough rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes.
  • While the dough is rising, make the filling.
  • For the filling:
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer, beat the cream cheese, sugar, and lemon juice on medium speed until combined.
  • Keep the cream cheese filling at room temperature while the dough finishes rising.
  • For the glaze:
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla extract until pour-able.
  • Refrigerate until ready to use on the baked danish.
  • For the assembly:
  • Once the dough has risen, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough into a large rectangle.
  • Spread the cream cheese filling on top of the dough with a spoon.
  • Then, top the cream cheese filling with the cranberry jam.
  • Starting with the long side furthest from you, start rolling the dough slowly towards you until youve formed a long log/roll.
  • Carefully transfer the roll to the greased baking sheet.
  • Use a sharp knife to make 7-8 cuts across the top of the Danish roll.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F until lightly golden, about 25-30 minutes.
  • Transfer the baking sheet to a rack and allow the roll to cool completely, then drizzle with the vanilla glaze, and enjoy!
  • Note: To make this with regular dough, simply substitute the gluten free flours with all-purpose flour and omit the xanthan gum.
  • Or, for a simpler version, use store-bought puff pastry!
