Ingredients
- 2 1/4 teaspoons (1 package) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 teaspoon + 1/4 cup sugar, divided
- 3 1/2 cups Mary’s Gluten-Free Flour Blend, more for
- working dough
- 1 1/2 teaspoons xanthan gum
- 1 cup milk of choice
- 1/4 cup melted butter, melted vegetable shortening or vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 large egg*, room temperature
- 1-1 1/2 teaspoons coarse or kosher salt, optional
- 3 tablespoons melted butter, for brushing tops, optional
Preparation
Step 1
1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a sheet pan (with low sides) with parchment paper.
2. In the bowl of stand mixer with paddle attachment or a food processor, combine yeast, warm water and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let stand 10 minutes until a foamy head forms.
3. In a medium bowl, whisk together Mary’s Gluten-Free Flour Blend and xanthan
gum.
4. In a small saucepan, heat milk until it’s lukewarm to touch. Add ¼ cup melted butter, ¼ cup sugar and 1 teaspoon salt. Remove from heat. Add to yeast mixture, stirring or pulsing to combine. (Milk mixture should be about 110°F, not hot, so as not to kill yeast).
5. Add egg to wet ingredients, mixing until combined.
6. Add flour mixture a little at a time, mixing together until dough forms.
7. Transfer dough onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into 4 equal parts. Using only as much gluten-free flour as needed to handle the dough, roll each part into a rectangle about 12x6 inches. Cut dough into 4x2-inch rectangles. Brush each rectangle with some melted butter, if desired. Fold 4-inch side of dough over the top and pinch edges to seal. Place rolls touching edges in prepared sheet pan. Let rise in a warm place 45 minutes to 1 hour.
8. Place in preheated oven and bake 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown. Brush tops with remaining melted butter and sprinkle with coarse salt, if desired.
