gluten free dinner rolls

By Jody

Ingredients

• Note: this recipe uses Jeanne’s Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Mix (mix together and store in a cool, dark place):
• 1 1/4 C (170g) brown rice flour
• 1 1/4 C (205g) white rice flour
• 1 C (120g) tapioca flour
• 1 C (165g) sweet rice flour (aka Mochiko)
• 2 scant tsp. xanthan gum
• Ingredients:
• 3 C (420g) Jeanne’s Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Mix, above
• 2 tsp xanthan gum (this is in addition to the xanthan gum in the mix)
• 4 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 C (50g) sugar
• 2 TBL active dry yeast
• 2 C (475ml) warm but not hot milk
• 2 tsp apple cider vinegar
• 2 large or extra large eggs
• 1/4 C (60ml) olive oil (or neutral oil)
• melted butter for pans and for brushing tops of rolls
• tapioca flour for pans

Preparation

Step 1

Butter and flour muffin tins.
In a small bowl, whisk 1 TBL of the sugar into warm milk. Add yeast, whisk to dissolve; set aside to proof (start the yeast working)–it will get foamy on the top.

In a medium bowl, mix together flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, the remaining sugar, and salt; set aside.
In bowl of mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together eggs, vinegar and oil. Add yeast mixture, beat to mix. Add flour mixture, beat on low to combine, then beat on high for about 3 minutes.



Spoon dough into prepared muffin tins–filling about 3/4 of each cup full (I use my ice cream scooper). With a sharp knife that has been dipped in tapioca flour, cut a deep slash in the top of each roll
Don’t worry if there’s a little extra tapioca flour left on the rolls. Turn on oven to preheat to 375 degrees.
Let rise until doubled in bulk–about 40 mins. I put muffin tins on top of stove to let dough rise in proximity to warmth of the preheating stove.

Once rolls have risen, brush the top of each with melted butter. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes–until the tops are a nice golden brown. If they start to brown too quickly, loosely tent the rolls with aluminum foil.
Remove from oven. Release rolls from tins. Enjoy!

*Note: you can also make these into buns by dropping large spoonfuls of dough onto a greased cookie sheet. Follow rising and baking instructions for the muffin-tin rolls.
