Gluten free potato rolls

By Robin_h

We used these as hamburger buns and they worked great!! But we used a 4 inch cutter instead of a 2 inch for the buns.

Ingredients

• 1 cup warm water
• 2 packets of active dry yeast (2 1/4 tsp if you use a jar)
• 2 cups of mashed potatoes, warm (if you use potato flakes, that's fine but PLEASE make sure they are gluten free!! Idahoan spuds are ok)
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 1/4 cups of milk (the milk and vinegar are combined to substitute for buttermilk. 1 1/2 C buttermilk is fine too)
• 1/4 cup of vinegar
• 3 Tbls. Butter, melted and cooled slightly
• 3 Tbls. Vegetable oil
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 5 1/2 cups of gluten free flour blend
• 1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
• 1 egg, beaten (if desired)
• Sprinkling of salt (if desired)

Preparation

Step 1

Step 1:
Mix together the milk and the vinegar. Set aside.
Step 2:
Combine warm water, yeast, potatoes and sugar in the bowl of a stand mixer or a large bowl for a handheld mixer. Allow the mixture to stand for 5 – 10 minutes, until it gets frothy and foamy.
Step 3:
With a paddle attachment or handheld beaters, mix in the milk/vinegar mixture, melted butter, oil and salt.
Step 4:
Gradually add the flour to make the dough – Blend this on high for about 4 – 5 minutes. Note: it will not form a ball or stick together very well. It will actually resemble thick cake batter.
Step 5:
On a very generously floured work surface, turn dough out of the bowl. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough out to roughly ¾ inches thick.
Step 6:
Using a 2 inch, floured cookie cutter, cut out the dough and place them 2 inches apart on lined baking sheets (line them with parchment paper).
Step 7:
Cover the rolls with a towel or sprayed plastic wrap. Let them rise in a warm place on the sheets for about 15 minutes. Toward the end of the rise time, preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
Step 8:
(Optional) Brush the rolls with the beaten egg and add a sprinkling of salt.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18 minutes. This may be a little more or less depending on your baking sheets – insulated sheets might need a minute or two more.
Cool slightly and enjoy!
