Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour with xanthan gum
- 1 tbsp sugar or honey
- 2 1/2 tsp instant yeast
- 1 tsp sea salt
Wet Ingredients
- 3/4 cup warm milk plant-based or dairy, about 105–110°F
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
Optional Toppings

Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
- Warm the milk to about 105–110°F.
- Add the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vinegar to the dry ingredients. Mix with a hand or stand mixer for 3–4 minutes until a sticky dough forms.

- Grease your hands and shape the dough into 8 equal rolls. Place into a greased baking dish or cast-iron skillet.
- Cover and allow a second rise for 20–30 minutes while preheating the oven to 375°F.
- Bake uncovered for 18–22 minutes until golden. Optionally brush with melted butter during the final 5 minutes of baking.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before serving warm.
Notes
For best results, use a quality gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum. Rolls are freezer-friendly and best reheated with a light spritz of water. Customize with garlic, herbs, or a dairy-free variation.
