Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate small bowl, beat together the eggs and milk.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the egg mixture. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Lightly dust a clean workstation with gluten-free flour. Turn the dough onto this surface and gently knead until smooth, adding a little more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle, about 1 cm thick.
Brush the top of the dough with olive oil and sprinkle evenly with grated cheese.
Layer the sliced ham evenly over the cheese.
Starting from the longer side, carefully roll the dough into a log shape, ensuring the filling stays inside.
Slice the roll into 12 even pieces and place each piece on the prepared baking tray, cut side facing up.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the rolls are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
