Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Sugar
• 1 tablespoon Instant dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Whole milk
• 3 pieces Large eggs
• 1 piece Egg yolk
• 0.25 cup Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing)
• 1 tablespoon Milk (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, instant dry yeast, xanthan gum, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add in whole milk and warm until lukewarm. Remove from heat.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the 3 large eggs and add them to the butter and milk mixture. Mix thoroughly.

Step 4

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water, honey, and the egg-butter-milk mixture. Mix with a wooden spoon or stand mixer with paddle attachment until a soft dough forms.

Step 5

The dough will be sticky. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and let it rest for 1 hour in a warm environment until it slightly rises.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 7

After the dough has rested, grease your hands with a bit of oil and divide the dough into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a ball and place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each.

Step 8

Cover the shaped buns with a kitchen towel and let them proof for another 20 minutes.

Step 9

For the egg wash, whisk together the egg yolk and 1 tablespoon of milk. Gently brush the tops of each bun with the egg wash.

Step 10

Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

Step 11

Remove from oven and let the buns cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy the soft and fluffy gluten-free brioche buns!
