Fluffy, golden, and irresistibly tender, these **Gluten-Free Classic Baked Dinner Rolls** are proof that anyone can enjoy bakery-style bread, even on a gluten-free diet. Made with a carefully balanced mix of gluten-free all-purpose flour and xanthan gum, these rolls achieve a soft, pillowy texture without compromising on flavor. Infused with the richness of melted butter and a subtle tang from apple cider vinegar, the dough rises beautifully to create light, airy rolls perfect for holiday gatherings or weeknight dinners. Conveniently prepared in a muffin tin for easy shaping and baking, these rolls are ready in under an hour, making them a fantastic choice for busy cooks who still crave homemade delights. Whether served warm with a pat of butter, alongside a hearty soup, or even saved for next-day sandwiches, these rolls deliver both comfort and elegance for gluten-free dining.
Prepare a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with parchment muffin liners. This will help maintain the shape of the rolls while they bake.
In a large bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Stir together until evenly mixed.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and add the milk. Allow this mixture to cool slightly until it's warm to the touch but not hot.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and apple cider vinegar. Gradually add the warm butter and milk mixture while whisking continuously.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and add the warm water. Using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, mix the dough on medium speed for about 5 minutes until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.
Scoop the dough into the prepared muffin tin, filling each liner about 3/4 full. This should yield about 12 rolls.
Cover the muffin tin with a clean kitchen towel and let the rolls rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 30-40 minutes or until they have doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the risen rolls for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when tapped.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
