These gluten free rolls are a great way to start the day at breakfast, and also go well as dinner rolls.
I have the fondest memories of waking up to freshly baked rolls made by my grandmother growing up anytime she would come visit, and especially around the holidays.
She would always make enough for the day, so we’d have them at breakfast with her homemade strawberry preserves and then at dinner as a dinner roll.
We loved her rolls and sourdough bread so much that she would make huge batches, freeze them and then mail them to us, along with fresh fruit and vegetables from their farm.
We actually had an extra freezer in the basem*nt to store all of it.
My grandmother was the best cook, I mean there was seriously nothing that she couldn’t make.
While she has some recipes that I have been able to convert to gluten free and dairy free, I have been unsuccessfully trying to make her rolls for years….until now!
Well, until a couple of days ago if we’re being specific. With the help of my amazing mother, we tested the recipe a couple more times before sharing it with you.
I’ve been doing test runs of my holiday recipes lately as I have a lot of family coming into town this year and I want to show them how delicious gluten free foods can be.
So, I decided to try making the yeast rolls again and I still can’t believe how great they turned out.
My kids and I literally ate an entire batch because they were that good!
So, if you’ve been searching for a gluten free rolls recipe, I think you’ll love this.

Combine the yeast, flour, sugar and salt in a bowl, mix until well combined and set aside.
In a stand mixer, add your slightly beaten egg and start mixer on low.
Next, add the room temperature water and melted dairy free butter.
Start adding your dry ingredient mix a little bit at a time with the mixer going on low until all of the flour is in the bowl.
Mix on medium speed for 3 minutes.
Once the mixture is smooth, scrape down the sides of the bowl and mix on medium speed for one more minute.
Grease a round pie pan with a little bit of the dairy free butter to prevent sticking.
Using a medium size cookie scoop, scoop the dough out into the pan (should be a heaping full scoop). Start by placing scoops around the outside edge and then do a circle inside so that the dough is touching on the edges. Repeat until the pan is full all the way to the center with round scoops of dough.
Take a small spatula and flatten and smooth out the tops so that they look like rolls, rather than balls of dough.
Cover the pie pan with a cheese cloth or thin dish towel.
Turn off the oven, and place the covered pan in the oven for one hour until it doubles. The warmth inside the oven will help the dough rise.
Remove the rolls from the oven and set on the counter after taking the dish towel off the top.
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.
Brush the tops of the rolls lightly with butter.
Once the oven is preheated, bake the rolls for 6 minutes.
The tops will be browning, so at this point, cover it with aluminum foil so the top doesn’t burn.
Cook another 2 or 3 minutes.
Score the outlines of the rolls with a knife and serve warm. Or, you can let the rolls cool for 10 minutes and then gently pull them apart with your hands along the outlines of the rolls.
Recipe Notes
Enjoy it fresh out of the oven, or save it for later. These rolls freeze well too, so feel free to make extra.

Restaurants at Disney World use several brands of gluten free dinner rolls, hamburger buns and bread, including Deanna's Gluten Free, Local Oven, Ener-G, and Udi's. When heated well, Deanna's Gluten Free dinner rolls and hamburger buns are my favorite, because they have the best taste and texture.
It depends on the kind of yeast and the other ingredients in the bread. Bread made with baker's yeast is gluten-free so long as the other ingredients used are also gluten-free. Many gluten-free breads are made with yeast and are safe for people with celiac disease to eat.
What type of yeast should be used to bake Gluten Free Bread? Active dry yeast and instant yeast both work well and are often interchangeable. Be on the lookout for any Rapid Rise yeast that is best for one rise. For most of us that's the way gluten free bread is baked, a single rise in the tin.

There are a few common reasons why your gluten-free bread may be turning out dense: Insufficient Leavening: Yeast or baking powder creates air pockets in the dough, allowing it to rise and become light. If you don't use enough leavening agents, your bread will not have enough gas bubbles to create that airy texture.
Snickers are manufactured by Mars but please note that Mars Bars are not gluten-free and unfortunately neither are Malteasers from Mars. But do not worry, Mars still has other products which are free from gluten such as Bounty and Magic Stars.
Although Ezekiel bread is technically flourless, it is not a gluten-free product. Those with celiac disease or gluten intolerance shouldn't eat it. There are other flourless breads that do not contain gluten.
A: We do not currently make any gluten-free products. It's really hard to get a gluten-free bread to match our high standards for killer taste and texture (we're trying!).
The simple answer is yes — potatoes are gluten-free. Gluten is a type of protein found in wheat, rye, barley, and other grains. Potatoes aren't grains, they're a type of starchy vegetable. That's good news for people who can't tolerate gluten because they have celiac disease or gluten intolerance.
A note about moisture in gluten-free bread recipes: getting the right amount of moisture in GF bread dough is crucial to success. If the dough is too moist, the bread will rise well but sink in the middle when baking. If it is too dry, the bread will not rise.
Dense loaf- you may need to use more liquid, gluten free dough is usually wetter than regular wheat flour dough resembling a thick brownie batter. How much liquid is enough in a recipe ultimately depends not on formulas but in observation. You may need more or less liquid than the recipe specifies.
2 teaspoons of baking powder per cup of gluten-free flour is necessary to ensure proper leavening. Baking soda and buttermilk can be used to leaven instead of baking powder, but 1-1/8 teaspoon of cream of tartar should be added for each 1/2 teaspoon baking soda used.
Apple cider vinegar or another acid lightens up the dough. You can add up to 4 Tbsp of acid for 500 g gluten-free flour. Don't worry, you won't be able to taste it afterwards. To lighten up a yeast dough even more, you can add a packet of baking powder or cream of tartar baking powder to 500 g flour.
