Gluten Free Rolls (dairy free option)

Edit

Ingredients


  • 3 cups high quality gluten free flour (see notes)
  • 1 T potato flakes (NOT potato flour)
  • 1 T gluten free instant yeast, room temperature
  • 3 T sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/3 cup powdered milk (optional, but highly suggested - omit if dairy free)
  • 1/4 cup butter, softened (see notes for dairy free)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups water, just warmer than room temperature

Instructions


  1. Add all ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer in order listed. Add the salt and sugar on opposite sides of the bowl.
  2. Mix on low until ingredients start to combine, then on medium for 3 minutes. The mixture will be thick to start and then soften after a minute or so. The dough should be sticky and softer than regular roll dough, more like a sticky cookie dough.
  3. If it is too dry (not sticky, easily handled, or crumbly), add a tablespoon or two of water.
  4. Likewise, if it is too wet (more like banana bread, not able to be formed or handled at all in the next step), add a tablespoon or two of flour.
  5. Because the dough is sticky, you'll want to coat your hands in oil so you can easily handle it. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and form into balls with oiled hands. You might need to re-apply oil a few times.
  6. Place the balls of dough in a 9X13" baking pan and cover the pan with plastic wrap or a light towel.NEXT STEP
