Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.5 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm milk (110°F)
- 4 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 2 large Eggs (room temperature)
- 1.5 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing and finishing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Stir well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, eggs, and apple cider vinegar. Make sure the milk is warm (around 110°F) but not too hot to avoid killing the yeast.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a hand mixer to beat the dough on medium speed for about 3-4 minutes. The dough will be sticky and resemble the texture of a thick batter.
Grease your hands and a 12-well muffin tin or baking sheet with olive oil. For dinner rolls, spoon the dough into the muffin tin, filling each well about 3/4 full. For hamburger buns, use an ice cream scoop or greased hands to shape the dough into flattened rounds and place them on the baking sheet, spaced at least 2 inches apart.
Cover the rolls or buns loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Place them in a warm, draft-free area to rise for about 30-40 minutes, or until they've nearly doubled in size.
While the dough is rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush the tops of the risen rolls or buns lightly with olive oil to help them brown evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the internal temperature of the rolls reaches 200°F (93°C).
Remove the rolls or buns from the oven and allow them to cool for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm as dinner rolls, or use them as gluten-free hamburger buns for your next cookout. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or freeze for longer storage.
