Ingredients

• 250 grams Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
• 50 grams Tapioca Starch
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
• 2 teaspoons Instant Yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 250 milliliters Warm Water
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
• 1 teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

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

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, eggs, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar until well blended.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix using an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for about 3 minutes until the dough is smooth and slightly sticky.

Step 5

Using wet hands, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a roll. Place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 6

Cover the rolls lightly with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for about 20-30 minutes until slightly puffy.

Step 7

Once risen, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the rolls are golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

Step 8

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free Portuguese rolls fluffy and fresh!
