Recipe: The Softest Gluten-Free Dinner Rolls
Ingredients:
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (make sure it contains xanthan gum)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm milk (or dairy-free milk)
- 1/4 cup butter, melted (or dairy-free butter)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional for sweetness)
- 1 tablespoon butter (for brushing on top)
- Instructions:
- Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, mix the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and stir to combine. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the yeast becomes frothy.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk the eggs, melted butter, apple cider vinegar, and honey (if using).
- Make the Dough: Add the activated yeast mixture and the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Mix until you have a soft dough. It should be slightly sticky but not runny. If it’s too wet, add a little more flour.
- Shape the Rolls: Lightly grease a baking dish. Using a spoon or your hands, scoop the dough and form it into rolls. Place them close together in the baking dish, allowing for some space to rise.
- Let it Rise: Cover the dish with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until the rolls have puffed up.
- Preheat Oven and Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Once the rolls have risen, bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top.
- Brush with Butter: Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter for a glossy finish.
- Serve: Let the rolls cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the soft, fluffy gluten-free dinner rolls!
