Ingredients
  

  • 2 ½ cups gluten free flour blend * see note
  • 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast * see note
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 ½ cups water Warm
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, heat 3/4 cup of water to 110º F. Do not use hotter temperatures or it can kill your yeast.
  • Add the yeast and sugar. Stir and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until the yeast is bubbling and frothy.
  • In the large mixing bowl of a standing mixer, pour in the yeast mixture and 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Add the remaining 3/4 cup of water and the dry ingredients.
  • Put either a dough hook or paddle attachment onto the stand mixer.
  • Mix the ingredients at medium speed until a dough forms. Mix for an additional 30-45 seconds.
  • It is important to shape the dough before the first rise.
  • Grease a pie pan, cast-iron skillet, or 8x8 baking pan.
  • Break the dough into 8 pieces. Roll each into a ball and place it into the pan.
  • Cover loosely with plastic wrap and place in a warm area to rise. Let the rolls rise for 45 minutes. They should double in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 375º F. Brush the tops with the remaining 2 tablespoons of melted butter.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until done. The actual baking time will vary depending on the size of your rolls.

Notes

  1. For this recipe, I used Cup4Cup Wholesome gluten free flour blend. It has the taste and texture of whole wheat. This gluten free flour blend uses rice bran and flaxseeds to mimic wheat. You can also use Cup4Cup regular if you prefer white dinner rolls. I have not tested any other flour blend, but I would also recommend Better Batter and Authentic Foods Steve's GF Bread blend for this recipe.
  2. Xanthan gum - If your blend doesn't contain this, please add 1 teaspoon.
  3. This bread will keep fresh for up to 3 days in the refrigerator or 3 months in the freezer. Store in a freezer bag if you are freezing the rolls.

SPECIAL NOTE

Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
