Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water (about 110°F or 43°C)
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, xanthan gum, instant yeast, sugar, and salt until well combined.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, combine the warm water, eggs, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Beat the mixture with a whisk until blended.

Step 3

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms. The dough will be sticky, which is normal for gluten-free bread.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil. Using a spoon or a scoop, divide the dough evenly among the muffin cups. They should be about two-thirds full.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough rises for a second time in the muffin tin—about 15 to 20 minutes.

Step 7

Once the oven is preheated, bake the rolls for 20 to 25 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush the tops with melted butter to enrich their flavor and give them a lovely sheen.

Step 9

Allow the rolls to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm for best taste.
