Instructions

Step 1: Preparing the Yeast

In a small bowl, combine warm milk, honey, and dry active yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy. This step ensures that your yeast is active and will help your rolls rise beautifully.

Step 2: Mixing the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, or the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together gluten-free flour blend, psyllium husk powder, salt, and xanthan gum. Add the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter, and beaten eggs. Mix using a dough hook attachment or a hand mixer until the dough is well combined and smooth. The dough will be slightly sticky, which is normal for gluten-free dough.

Step 3: Rising

Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size. This allows the dough to develop flavor and texture.

Step 4: Shaping the Rolls

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Once the dough has risen, gently punch it down and divide it into 12 equal parts. Shape each piece into a ball and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 5: Baking

Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the tops of the rolls with additional melted butter. Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped. Remove them from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving.

Conclusion

Enjoy your delightful gluten-free dinner rolls fresh out of the oven, with their soft and tender crumb and a gently crisp exterior. These rolls are not only a testament to gluten-free baking but also to the joys of sharing freshly baked bread with loved ones. With this easy-to-follow recipe, you can transform simple ingredients into a beloved part of your mealtime tradition. Whether you’re serving them with dinner, a holiday feast, or simply enjoying a warm roll with butter, these gluten-free rolls will win over everyone at the table.
