Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Warm milk (or dairy-free milk)
• 0.5 cup Warm water
• 4 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Egg
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese (or dairy-free alternative, optional)
• 1 cup Cooked filling of choice (e.g., sautéed spinach and garlic, cooked mushrooms, or seasoned ground meat)
• 2 tablespoons Butter (or dairy-free spread, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Stir to combine.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, warm water, olive oil, and egg until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add 1-2 tablespoons of additional warm water as needed.

Step 4

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently for 2-3 minutes until smooth.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized portions and shape each into a ball.

Step 6

Flatten each ball into a circle about 4-5 inches wide. Place 1-2 tablespoons of your chosen filling (e.g., sautéed spinach and garlic) and a sprinkle of shredded mozzarella (if using) in the center of each circle.

Step 7

Carefully fold the edges of the dough circle around the filling and pinch to seal, forming a stuffed roll.

Step 8

Place the rolls seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 30-40 minutes until slightly puffy.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 10

Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter or a dairy-free spread for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

Allow the rolls to cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
