Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1.5 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 4 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water, then sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, and xanthan gum. Whisk them together to ensure the ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Add the frothy yeast mixture, vegetable oil, egg, and rice vinegar to the dry ingredients. Mix well using a wooden spoon or stand mixer at a medium speed until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Lightly oil your hands and divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a small round or oval roll.
Place the shaped rolls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased.
Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for about 15-20 minutes. The rolls should puff up slightly.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Once the rolls have risen, bake them in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and they sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack.
Serve warm, filled with your favorite Cuban roll fillings like roasted pork, ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, and mustard, or enjoy them plain.
