Gluten Free Dinner Rolls

Christmas is over and we are all onto the New Year! I hope everyone had a relaxing and delicious Holiday as I know we did. We still have some activities planned with friends before the new year but it’s been nice to sit back and enjoy the season! This will be my last post before the New Year so I am wishing all of you a new year full of fun, joy, good health and delicious dishes!

If you are gluten free you know how hard it is to find any kind of good bread, biscuit or roll. I have made attempts at making bread with little success but this dinner roll recipe comes out great each and every time. I make these for all of the Holidays for Robby now.

INGREDIENTS

3 cups gluten free all purpose flour …I use bob’s one for one that includes xantham gum. If your flour does not have xanthan gum you will need to add 1 1/2 teaspoons to your flour mix.

1 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 teaspoons rapid/instant yeast. I use Fleischmann’s brand
1 1/4 cups warm milk(110~115 degrees) I use fairlife milk
1/4 ups salted butter-I use Earth Balance, softened
2 eggs room temperature
1/2 cup of honey
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Pinch of course sea salt

DIRECTIONS

I make this in my kitchen aide mixer with a dough hook but can easily be done In a Large bowl.

In a large bowl add the gluten free flour, salt, xanthan gum if using be sure not to add it if your flour already contains it.
Add the yeast into the GF flour by making a little well with your fingers in the flour and pour the yeast in the center of the well.
Warm the milk to 110 degrees- 115 degrees. I microwave the milk for about 1 minute 15 seconds the. Check the temperature with a quick read thermometer. If the milk is too hot it will kill the yeast.
Pour the warm milk over the yeast.
Add the softened butter, eggs, apple cider vinegar and honey to the bowl and mix until fully combined. 2-3 minutes. You may need to scape the bottom and sides of the bowl to be sure all of the flour is combined.
The dough will be sticky.

Spray a nine inch pie pan/cake pan with gluten free cooking spray.
Using an ice cream scoop sprayed with non stick spray place the dough balls around the pan and one in the center. Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
Pre heat your oven to 400 degrees.

Just before baking remove towel and brush the melted butter over the tops of the dough and sprinkle with a good pinch of sea salt . Bake the rolls on the middle rack for 14-16 minutes. They will be a nice golden brown but I do check mine early as my oven runs hot. You can check them with an instant read thermometer as the internal temp should be at 200 degrees.

Best when eaten warm but can be stored in an airtight container. Can be re heated in microwave for oven.

Enjoy!
