Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 30 grams Tapioca starch
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 150 milliliters Whole milk
- 50 grams Butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 50 grams Unsalted butter (for filling)
- 50 grams Sugar (for topping)
- 2 tablespoons Coffee instant powder
- 2 tablespoons Hot water
- 2 tablespoons Rice flour (for dusting)
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, instant yeast, sugar, xanthan gum, and salt.
Heat the milk until warm (not hot), then add the butter into the milk and stir until it melts. Let cool slightly.
Beat the egg with vanilla extract in a separate bowl.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and mix until a smooth dough forms.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
For the filling, slice the butter into small cubes and set aside.
Prepare the coffee topping by dissolving the coffee powder in hot water. Add the sugar and mix until dissolved.
Divide the risen dough into 6 even portions.
Flatten each portion into a circle, place a cube of butter in the center, and wrap the dough around the butter, pinching the edges to seal.
Place the buns seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each bun.
Brush the coffee mixture over the top of each bun.
Dust lightly with rice flour.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Bake the buns for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
Let them cool slightly before serving to enjoy the melted buttery center.
