These Gluten-Free Dinner Rolls offer a soft, fluffy, and airy texture that rivals traditional wheat rolls. Perfectly tender with a buttery finish, they are ideal for anyone needing or preferring gluten-free baked goods. These dinner rolls are versatile enough to complement soups, salads, and main dishes or be used as sandwich sliders. Made with a gluten-free flour blend containing xanthan gum, active dry yeast, warm milk, eggs, and melted butter, they provide delicious homemade bread without gluten.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups (180g) Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend (containing xanthan gum)
  • 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum (if not included in flour blend)
  • 1 tablespoon (8g) Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) Salt
  • 1 packet (7g) Active Dry Yeast

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240ml) Warm Milk (dairy or non-dairy, lukewarm 110-115°F/43-46°C)
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 4 tablespoons (56g) Melted Butter or Vegan Butter (cooled slightly)
  • 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy, indicating the yeast is active and ready.
  2. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, melted butter, and apple cider vinegar to the yeast mixture. Whisk together until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour blend, xanthan gum (if needed), and salt to ensure even distribution of the dry components.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix on low speed using a paddle attachment if available, just until combined. Avoid overmixing to prevent tough dough. Scrape down the sides of the bowl to ensure everything is incorporated. The dough should be slightly wetter compared to regular bread dough.
  5. First Rise: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Place it in a warm spot and let the dough rise for 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.
  6. Shape the Rolls: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking pan. Gently deflate the dough and divide it into 12 equal portions using floured hands or a spoon. Roll each portion into a ball and arrange them evenly in the baking pan, leaving a small gap between each roll.
  7. Second Rise: Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and allow the rolls to rise for 20 minutes to puff up further.
  8. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the rolls turn golden brown. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into a roll; it should come out clean.
  9. Cool and Serve: Allow the rolls to cool slightly in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Brush the tops with melted butter or vegan butter for extra flavor and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a high-quality gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum included, or add xanthan gum separately for best texture.
  • Do not overmix the dough as it will become tough and dense.
  • Ensure the milk is lukewarm (110-115°F) to properly activate the yeast without killing it.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area to encourage proper fermentation and volume.
  • Optionally add herbs or everything bagel seasoning to the dough or on top before baking for flavor variations.
  • Store rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for 2-3 months.
  • Reheat rolls wrapped in foil in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes, or microwave for 15-30 seconds.
