Indulge in the irresistible aroma and fluffy texture of homemade Gluten-Free Portuguese Rolls, crafted to perfection with a unique blend of gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, and a touch of xanthan gum for structure.

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, eggs, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for about 3 minutes until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.
Using wet hands, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a roll. Place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.
Cover the rolls lightly with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for about 20-30 minutes until slightly puffy.
Once risen, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free Portuguese rolls fluffy and fresh!
