GLUTEN-FREE PULL-APART DINNER ROLLS {DAIRY-FREE OPTION}

Gluten-free Dinner Rolls that taste like grandma’s holiday rolls! We enjoy these at the holidays and year-round! Be sure to read through the post for my tips!

After I had to give up gluten, I tried making my own rolls at home, using my old favorite recipes, just substituting gluten-free flour, and each time they failed miserably. Thankfully, just a few months after my celiac diagnosis and transition to cooking & eating gluten-free, my local gluten-free store brought in Rachel aka Gluten Free Mama for a baking class. I sat there amazed as she whipped up super easy gluten-free dinner rolls, then when I got to sample them, I couldn’t believe it.

They actually tasted like real homemade dinner rolls! These don’t taste like cardboard, crumble like sawdust, require a knife to saw through, or need to be toasted to be palatable. What a relief, right?!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 3/4 cups (11 1/2 oz.) Gluten Free Mama's Almond Blend Flour
• 1 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
• 2 tsp. SAF instant yeast
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 cup warm water (105-110°)
• 2 Tbsp. butter, dairy-free margarine, or Spectrum shortening, melted
• 1 egg (preferably room temp)
• 1 tsp. cider vinegar

DIRECTIONS

1. In the mixing bowl of your electric mixer, mix together flour, xanthan gum, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
2. With mixer running on low speed, add in the water, melted butter (or substitute), egg, and cider vinegar.
3. Mix on medium speed 3 minutes.
4. Spray 8" or 9" round cake pan or pie plate with cooking spray. Using a 2" scoop or 1/3 cup measuring cup, scoop dough into 9 mounds in the pan. I place one mound in middle, then scoop 8 mounds of dough side by side all the way around the pan.
5. Dip your fingertips into warm water and use to smooth out the tops of the rolls, continuing to wet fingers as needed.
6. Cover with a dry towel and let rise in a warm place 45 minutes to 1 hour.
7. During the last few minutes that the rolls are rising, preheat oven to 400°.
8. Bake in 400° oven for 26-28 minutes. Tops should be golden brown and if you measure temperature of dough, it should measure 200°.
9. Brush rolls with additional 1/2-1 Tablespoon of melted butter.
