Ingredients

• 300 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 50 grams Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 120 milliliters Milk (warm, 110°F/43°C)
• 60 grams Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 200 grams Poppy seed filling
• 1 egg Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, xanthan gum, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract together.

Step 3

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix together using a wooden spoon until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm area for about 60 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/4-inch thick. You may need to add additional gluten-free flour to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Spread the poppy seed filling evenly over the entire surface of the dough.

Step 8

Carefully roll the dough from the longer side to form a tight roll.

Step 9

Transfer the roll to the prepared baking sheet, seam side down.

Step 10

Brush the roll generously with the egg wash to give it a nice shine.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 12

Remove from oven and let it cool on a wire rack before slicing. Serve and enjoy your gluten-free poppy seed roll!
