Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2.5 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 200 milliliters Warm milk
- 50 grams Butter, melted
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 100 grams Strawberry jam
- 1 Egg, beaten (for brushing)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, granulated sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or electric mixer until a smooth dough forms. The dough should be wet but hold together.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 30 minutes in a warm place.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Once the dough has rested, divide it into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Brush each bun gently with the beaten egg to achieve a golden finish when baked.
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
Once the buns are cool, cut each bun horizontally, making sure not to cut all the way through. Fill them with whipped cream and a dollop of strawberry jam.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days.
