Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-free whole grain flour blend
- 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
- 1 packet Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1.5 cups Warm water (110°F or 43°C)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 large Egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Gluten-free oats (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free whole grain flour blend, psyllium husk powder, instant yeast, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), egg (or flax egg), and apple cider vinegar.
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. If needed, knead by hand for 1-2 minutes to ensure no dry pockets remain.
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm area for 20 minutes. The psyllium husk will help absorb moisture and create a pliable texture.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small oval roll about 6 inches long. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet.
Optional: Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with water and sprinkle with gluten-free oats for added texture.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when tapped.
Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice the rolls horizontally and fill with your favorite sandwich ingredients. Enjoy your gluten-free whole wheat hero rolls!
