Ingredients

• 1 cup Milk
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 packet Active dry yeast
• 0.25 cup Warm water
• 2 large Eggs
• 3.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the milk and butter over low heat until the butter melts. Remove from heat and let cool to lukewarm.

Step 2

In a small bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water and sprinkle yeast over the top. Let stand for about 10 minutes, or until frothy.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Stir in the lukewarm milk and butter mixture and the yeast mixture.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing with a wooden spoon or a dough hook attachment if using a stand mixer until a sticky dough forms.

Step 6

Grease a large bowl with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Transfer the dough into the bowl, turning to coat with oil. Cover with a clean cloth and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until approximately doubled in size.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 8

Punch down the dough and turn it out onto a lightly oiled surface. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.

Step 9

Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, spaced slightly apart. Brush the tops lightly with remaining olive oil.

Step 10

Cover with a cloth and let rise again for 20-30 minutes until slightly puffed.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
