Here’s a soft, fluffy, gluten-free dinner rolls recipe 🥖✨ — perfect for family meals or holiday dinners:
🥖 Gluten-Free Dinner Rolls
Ingredients (Makes 8–10 rolls)
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum if not already included)
- 1 cup warm milk (or non-dairy milk)
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 3 tbsp butter (or coconut oil), melted
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 eggs
- Optional: extra butter for brushing
Instructions
1️⃣ Activate Yeast
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast
- Let sit 5–10 minutes until frothy
2️⃣ Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, mix flour and salt
- Add eggs, melted butter, and yeast mixture
- Mix until smooth and sticky
Gluten-free dough is usually softer and stickier than regular dough — that’s normal
3️⃣ First Rise
- Cover bowl with a cloth or plastic wrap
- Let rise 1 hour in a warm place until slightly puffed
4️⃣ Shape the Rolls
- Lightly flour hands and a baking tray
- Scoop dough into 8–10 balls
- Place close together for soft-sided rolls
5️⃣ Second Rise
- Cover and let rise another 30–40 minutes
6️⃣ Bake
- Preheat oven to 375°F / 190°C
- Brush tops with butter if desired
- Bake 20–25 minutes until golden brown
7️⃣ Cool & Serve
- Let rolls cool slightly
- Serve warm with butter or your favorite spreads
💡 Tips
- Extra softness: add 1 tsp vinegar or 1 tsp xanthan gum if your flour blend doesn’t have it
- Make-ahead: freeze shaped rolls before the second rise; bake from frozen adding 5–7 minutes
- Flavor variations: mix in garlic, herbs, or cheese for savory rolls
