Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
• 1 cup Warm water (110°F/45°C)
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, instant yeast, granulated sugar, salt, and xanthan gum. Mix these dry ingredients well using a whisk.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix warm water, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, and the egg until well blended.

Step 3

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon or using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer on medium speed. Mix until you obtain a smooth, thick, and sticky dough.

Step 4

Cover the mixing bowl with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel, and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking, and divide the dough into 8 equal parts. Shape each part into a round roll and place them onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving enough space between each roll.

Step 7

Brush the tops of the rolls lightly with a little water or oil using a pastry brush, then sprinkle sesame seeds generously over each roll.

Step 8

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and sound hollow when tapped at the bottom.

Step 9

Remove the sesame rolls from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Step 10

Enjoy these gluten-free sesame rolls as a delightful accompaniment to any meal or as a perfect vessel for your favorite sandwich fillings.
