Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum (omit if your flour blend contains it)
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 Eggs (room temperature)
- 1 cup Unsweetened non-dairy milk (or regular milk if preferred)
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter or non-dairy butter substitute (melted and slightly cooled)
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 cup Warm water (approximately 110°F/43°C)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum (if needed), sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, non-dairy milk, melted butter, apple cider vinegar, and warm water until fully combined.
Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a wooden spoon or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. The dough will be sticky and wetter compared to traditional bread dough.
Grease an 8- or 9-inch round baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
Using lightly oiled hands or a scoop, divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place it into the prepared baking pan, leaving a little space between the buns.
Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the buns rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 45 minutes or until they double in size.
Near the end of the rising time, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the buns for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and they sound hollow when tapped.
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
These buns are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or frozen for longer storage.
