Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 0.5 cup Pineapple juice
- 0.25 cup Whole milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, instant yeast, salt, and xanthan gum. Mix well to ensure all dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine pineapple juice, whole milk, and unsalted butter. Warm the mixture until the butter is melted and the liquid reaches about 110°F. Remove from heat.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and vanilla extract until well combined.
Slowly add the warm liquid mixture and the egg mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously to form a dough. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm, draft-free environment for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Once the dough has risen, lightly flour your hands and shape the dough into 12 equal portions, forming each portion into a ball. Place the dough balls evenly spaced in the prepared baking dish.
Cover the baking dish with a towel and let the dough rise again for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls have risen slightly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the rolls are golden brown on top and sound hollow when tapped.
Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the rolls warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
