Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Milk
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Warm water
- 2 large Eggs
- 3.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm.
In a small bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water and sprinkle yeast over the top. Let stand for about 10 minutes, or until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Stir in the lukewarm milk and butter mixture and the yeast mixture.
In another bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or a dough hook attachment if using a stand mixer until a sticky dough forms.
Grease a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Transfer the dough into the bowl, turning to coat with oil. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until approximately doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly oiled surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart. Brush the tops lightly with remaining olive oil.
Cover with a cloth and let rise again for 20-30 minutes until slightly puffed.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
