Dinner Rolls

Based on Gluten Free Pull-Apart Dinner Rolls by My Gluten-Free Kitchen with modifications and input from my entire family.

Ingredients

• 1/3 c potato starch
• 1/3 c tapioca starch
• 1/2 c + 1/3 c sorghum flour
• 1 1/4 c brown rice flour (superfine)
• 1 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
• 2 tsp SAF instant yeast
• 1/4 c white sugar
• 1 tsp table salt
• 1 c lukewarm water (105-110 deg F)
• 2 TBspn canola oil
• 1 egg (ideally room-temperature)
• 1 tsp unseasoned rice vinegar

Time:

Approximately 2 hours, including rising and baking.

Tools:

Nice to have a stand mixer, but you can do it with an electric mixer or by hand using a mix of whisk and spatula/stirring thing of choice.

Instructions:

1. Mix together flours, xanthan gum, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. In stand mixer, use paddle attachment. Or use a whisk in a bowl.
2. With mixer on low speed, add in warm water, canola oil, egg, and rice vinegar.
3. Mix on medium speed for ~3 min.
4. Grease 8" or 9" round cake/pie pan.
5. Using a 1/3 c measuring cup, scoop dough into 9 mounds in the pan. Usually I do this with 8 mounds side-by-side all the way around the edge, and 1 in the middle.
6. Dip your fingers in warm water and smooth out the tops of the rolls. If your fingers start sticking to the dough, rewet them.
7. Cover with plastic wrap or dry towel and let rise in a warm place for 45 min to 1 hour.
8. Preheat oven to 400 deg F.
9. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the tops are golden brown.
10. After the rolls are out of the oven, brush them with an additional ~1/2 TBspn oil/melted butter.

Many modifications/substitutions are possible, some examples include:

• Canola oil can be substituted with: butter, coconut oil, olive oil, other faux-butter spreads
• Rice vinegar can be substituted with: red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar, white wine vinegar

You are killing it today, MLR. I love the neat format of your recipes.

These rolls sound totally doable. I'm curious--what kind of texture do they have?

Those rolls look amazing! I haven't had good soft rolls for quite a while. I'll be making these this weekend.
