Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium potato, peeled and diced
- 1 cup water
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup warm water (110°F)
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1.5 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (optional)
Instructions
Place the peeled and diced potato in a small saucepan with 1 cup of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until tender, about 10-12 minutes.
Drain the potatoes, reserving the cooking water, and mash the potatoes until smooth. Let them cool to room temperature.
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and sugar in 1/4 cup of warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, 1/2 cup of the reserved potato water, olive oil, and egg. Mix well.
Add the yeast mixture to the potato mixture and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky.
Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free place for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Dust your hands with some gluten-free flour and divide the dough into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Cover the shaped rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
Brush the tops with melted butter if desired, and allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving.
