Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, tapioca starch, instant yeast, sugar, xanthan gum, and salt.

Heat the milk until warm (not hot), then add the butter into the milk and stir until it melts. Let cool slightly.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

For the filling, slice the butter into small cubes and set aside.

Step 7

Prepare the coffee topping by dissolving the coffee powder in hot water. Add the sugar and mix until dissolved.

Step 8

Divide the risen dough into 6 even portions.

Step 9

Flatten each portion into a circle, place a cube of butter in the center, and wrap the dough around the butter, pinching the edges to seal.

Step 10

Place the buns seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving space between each bun.

Step 11

Brush the coffee mixture over the top of each bun.

Step 12

Dust lightly with rice flour.
