Gluten Free Company Dinner Rolls

These are the perfect gluten-free dinner rolls for company or holidays.  Light and fluffy with a wonderful fresh bread flavor. We make them often and warm them up the next day for breakfast.  They are wonderful with butter and jam or use for a small sandwich.

Gluten-Free Dinner Rolls
makes 15-20 rolls

Ingredients

• 3 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Mix with xanthan*  see below
• 2 teaspoons xanthan gum (this is in addition to the xanthan gum in the mix)
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup cane sugar
• 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
• 2 cups warm, but not hot milk (or almond milk, or water)
• 2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar 
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• melted butter for pans and for brushing tops of rolls

Butter and flour muffin tins

Instructions:

1. In a small bowl, whisk 1 tablespoon of the sugar into warm milk.  Add yeast, whisk to dissolve; set aside to proof. It will get foamy on the top.
2. In another bowl, sift together the flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, the remaining sugar, and salt
3. In the bowl of a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat together the eggs, vinegar, and oil.  
4. Add yeast mixture, beat to mix.  
5. Add flour mixture, beat on low to combine, then beat on high for about 3 minutes.
6. Spoon dough into prepared muffin tins to about 3/4 of each cup.
7. Let rise until doubled in bulk–about 30-40 mins in a warm place.
8. Turn on the oven to preheat to 375 degrees.
9. Once rolls have risen, brush the top of each with melted butter.  
10. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 minutes, until the tops are a nice golden brown. 
11. Remove from the oven.  Cool in the pan for a few minutes and then remove to a rack
12. Keep leftover rolls in the fridge
