Notes
To make a gluten-free version of this recipe you can substitute the all purpose flour with a high quality gluten free flour blend. Just make sure that the blend includes xanthan gum or a similar binding agent to replicate the structure that gluten provides. Keep in mind that gluten free flours may absorb liquids differently so you might need to make adjustments, to the amount of flour or the consistency of the dough. Also allow the gluten free dough to rise for a little longer than usual to achieve that desired fluffiness. Everything else in the recipe including the filling and lemon glaze remains unchanged. So go ahead. Savor every bite of these Strawberry Rolls, with Lemon Glaze knowing they're completely gluten free!
