Best Gluten Free Batter Buns Recipes

GLUTEN-FREE SOFT DINNER ROLLS

Steps:

• Combine water and yeast in the bowl of stand mixer. Stir to combine. Allow to stand for five minutes.
• While the yeast dissolves, combine the gluten-free flour, granulated sugar, xanthan gum, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk.
• Add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture. Add the milk, egg, and melted butter. Mix on medium speed until smooth, about three minutes. The dough will be very thick.
• Scoop dough, about 1/3 cup each, onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Smooth the top of each roll with your fingers. Dip your fingers in cool water before smoothing. Cover pan with greased plastic wrap. Allow rolls to rise until double in size.
• When rolls have almost doubled in size, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Remove plastic wrap from pan. Bake rolls until golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven. Brush rolls with melted butter and sprinkle with Kosher salt, if desired. (see note) Allow rolls to cool for about 15 minutes before serving.
• Rolls are best enjoyed the day they are made. Store leftover rolls wrapped on the counter or place cooled rolls in a freezer bag and freeze for up to two months. Thaw rolls at room temperature overnight.

GLUTEN FREE ROLLS

Steps:

• Add flour, sugar, yeast, xanthan gum, and salt to the bowl of an electric mixer or a large glass bowl if using a hand held mixer. Mix on low to combine. With the mixer on low speed, drizzle in water then add the butter, egg, and vinegar. Once the batter is smooth turn the speed up to medium then beat for 3 minutes, scraping the sides down once. Batter will be the consistency of thick cake batter.
• Spray a 9" glass pie pan with nonstick spray then use a 2" ice cream scoop to scoop the dough into the pan. Wet your fingertips with water then gently smooth the tops of the rolls. Cover pan with a tea towel then set in a warm place to rise for 45 minutes to 1 hour (I use my oven's "bread proof" setting, or place the pan on a heating pad set to low.)
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees then bake rolls for 23-25 minutes or until the internal temperature of the rolls reaches 200 degrees. Check rolls around the 16 minute mark - if the tops are browning too fast, gently place a piece of foil on top of the pan then continue baking. Serve immediately - best if consumed within a few hours.

GLUTEN FREE BATTER BUNS

Steps:

• In a large stand mixer, or you can use a hand mixer, combine the warm water and the yeast and stir well. Let it sit for about 3 minutes. Add the sugar salt and butter. Mix until well combined. Add the egg and mix well. Add the flour and again mix it well.
• Take out your muffin/cupcake pin and spray the pan well with some PAM spray.
• Using an ice cream scooper, pour the batter into the individual spaces, about 3/4 full.
• Allow the batter to rise in the pan for about 30 minutes.
• Bake at 375 Degrees for about 18 minutes.
