Gluten-Free Dinner Rolls
These homemade gluten-free dinner rolls are incredibly soft and fluffy. Plus, they couldn't be easier to make! Includes a dairy-free option.
Servings: 18 rolls
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour with xanthan gum*
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 ¾ teaspoons rapid yeast/instant yeast** I use Fleischmann's Bread Machine Instant Yeast
- 1 ¼ cups warm milk (110°F-115°F) dairy-free use almond, cashew or coconut milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened dairy-free use Earth Balance or Smart Balance
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- ½ cup honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted for dairy-free, I use Smart Balance buttery spread
Instructions
- In a large bowl add the gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt.
- Add the yeast to the gluten-free flour mix by making a little hole with your finger in the flour and pour the yeast into the hole.
- Warm the milk to 110°F-115°F. I microwave the milk in a large glass measuring cup for 1:30. I also use a thermometer to check the temperature. If your milk is too hot it'll kill the yeast. Pour warm milk over the yeast.
- Add the softened butter, eggs, apple cider vinegar, and honey to the bowl.
- Mix until fully combined. (2-3 minutes). You may need to scrape the sides down to make sure all of the flour is mixed well with the ingredients. I like to use my dough attachment to my KitchenAid mixer, but you can use the paddle attachment. The dough will be sticky.
- Spray two 9 inch cake/pie pans with gluten-free cooking spray. I like to use metal pans, but you can use a glass pan.
- Using an ice cream scoop place the dough balls into the pans. Spray your ice cream scoop with gluten-free cooking spray to help the dough not stick. You should have 8 dough balls around each pan and 1 dough ball in the center. This recipe makes 18 rolls.
- Take a small spatula and smooth out the tops of the dough.
- Cover the pans with a kitchen towel and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Pre-heat your oven to 400°F.
- Bake the rolls on the middle rack for 14-16 minutes. They will turn a nice golden light brown. Please watch your oven because all ovens are different. The temperature of the rolls should measure 200°F internally.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with melted butter before serving. Enjoy!

Notes
*If your flour blend doesn't include xanthan gum, you must add 1 ½ teaspoons of xanthan gum to step one in this recipe.
**Double-check that your instant yeast is still in date (besides rising in a too-cold environment, expired yeast is a common culprit for dough that won't rise!).
