These Gluten-Free Dinner Rolls are the perfect addition to any meal, offering a tender, buttery, and fluffy texture with a flaky top and soft center. Ideal for anyone avoiding gluten, they’re easy to make and sure to impress your guests with their delicious flavor and texture.

Ingredients

3 cups gluten-free flour

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons instant yeast

2 eggs (at room temperature)

¼ cup unsalted butter (softened) – dairy-free option available

1 ¼ cups milk (at room temperature) – can use lactose-free or dairy-free milk

2 tablespoons sugar

1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or lemon juice)

Instructions

  1. In the mixing bowl of your electric mixer, combine the gluten-free flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
  2. Warm the milk to about 45°C (115°F). It’s important not to overheat the milk, as it can kill the yeast. Check the temperature using a thermometer.
  3. Add the warmed milk, softened butter, eggs, and apple cider vinegar to the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix everything together until fully combined, forming a dough.
  4. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan (or two 9-inch square or round pans). Alternatively, you can use a cast-iron skillet or a lined baking sheet.
  5. Use an ice cream scoop to drop dough balls into the prepared pans. Lightly spray the scoop with gluten-free cooking spray to prevent the dough from sticking.
  6. Smooth the tops of the dough balls with a small spatula.
  7. Cover the pan with a kitchen towel and place it in a warm area to rise for about 1 hour.
  8. Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C) and position the rack in the lower part of the oven to ensure the tops don’t brown too quickly.
  9. Bake the rolls for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown.
  10. Once baked, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and brush it over the tops of the rolls before serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftover rolls tightly covered at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Reheating: To reheat, wrap the rolls in foil and warm them in a 350°F oven for about 10 minutes. Alternatively, you can microwave them for 15-20 seconds.
  • Can be frozen: Let the rolls cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or foil and place them in a freezer-safe bag. To reheat, thaw and warm in the oven.
  • Can use a different gluten-free flour blend that contains xanthan gum or guar gum for the best results.
  • Dairy-free option available: Substitute butter with dairy-free butter and use a non-dairy milk such as almond or oat milk.
  • For egg replacers, try flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with water, but the texture may vary.
