After I had to give up gluten, I tried making my own dinner rolls at home, using my old favorite recipes, just substituting gluten-free flour, and each time they failed miserably.

Ingredients

2¾ cups (11½ oz.) very good quality gluten-free flour blend

1 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum

2 tsp. SAF instant yeast

1/4 cup sugar

1 tsp. salt

1 cup warm water (105-110°)

2 Tbsp. butter, dairy-free margarine, or Spectrum shortening

1 egg (preferably room temp)

1 tsp. cider vinegar

Instructions

In the mixing bowl of your electric mixer, mix together flour, xanthan gum, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

With mixer running on low speed, add in the hot water (be sure to test temperature with thermometer, melted butter (or substitute), egg, and cider vinegar.

Mix on medium speed 3 minutes.

Spray 8" or 9" round cake pan or pie plate with cooking spray. Using a 2" scoop or 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop dough into 9 mounds in the pan. I place one mound in middle, then scoop 8 mounds of dough side by side all the way around the pan.

Dip your fingertips into warm water and use to smooth out the tops of the rolls, continuing to wet fingers as needed.

Cover with a dry towel and let rise in a warm place 45 minutes to 1 hour.

During the last few minutes that the rolls are rising, preheat the empty oven to 400°. (if you were rising your rolls in the oven, remove and place on counter during oven preheat).

Bake in 400° oven for 25-28 minutes. Tops should be golden brown and if you measure temperature of dough, it should measure 200°.

Brush rolls with additional 1/2-1 Tablespoon of melted butter.
