Prep Time 1 hourhr15 minutesmins
Cook Time 15 minutesmins
Ingredients
2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend (with xanthan gum, or add 1 tsp xanthan gum if not included)
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
1/2 cup warm milk (dairy or non-dairy, about 110°F/43°C)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus extra for brushing)
1 large egg
1 tsp apple cider vinegar (helps with texture)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Mix the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour and salt.
Add the yeast mixture, melted butter, egg, and apple cider vinegar. Mix until a soft dough forms. The dough will be slightly sticky but should hold its shape.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rest for 30-45 minutes in a warm place. It won’t rise as much as regular dough, but it will become slightly puffy.
Shape the Rolls:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface (use gluten-free flour). Divide the dough into two equal portions.
Roll each portion into a circle about 1/4-inch thick. Cut each circle into 8 triangles (like a pizza).
Roll each triangle up into a crescent shape starting at the wide end. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.
Bake:
Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with butter, jam, or your favourite spread.
