Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour Use a blend that contains xanthan gum for best results.
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 packet instant yeast (about 2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1 cup warm milk or dairy-free alternative Ensure it's warm, not hot.
  • 1/4 cup melted butter or coconut oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup crushed pineapple, drained

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • In a mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter or coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract.
  • Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until well incorporated. The dough should be slightly sticky.
  • Fold in the crushed pineapple, ensuring it’s evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

First Rise

  • Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 30-45 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.

Forming the Rolls

  • Once risen, gently deflate the dough and scoop it onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions, rolling each into a ball.

Second Rise

  • Place the rolls on a greased baking dish, ensuring they are touching slightly. Cover again and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

Baking

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
  • Allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. Best enjoyed warm and fresh.

Notes

Store rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to three months. Reheat in the oven before serving for best results.
