Ingredients

• 1 cup warm milk (dairy or unsweetened non-dairy alternative)
• 2.25 teaspoons active dry yeast
• 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 egg (room temperature)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons additional melted butter (for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm milk, active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until bubbly and frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together melted butter, the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, egg, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Add the proofed yeast mixture to the large mixing bowl and mix until combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a sticky dough forms.

Step 6

Lightly grease another bowl and transfer the dough into it. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 7

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

Step 8

After the dough has risen, lightly flour a surface with gluten-free flour and turn the dough out onto it. Gently shape the dough into a rectangle and roll it to about 1-inch thickness.

Step 9

Using a knife or a bench scraper, cut the dough into 12 equal pieces and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.

Step 10

Cover the rolls with the kitchen towel again and let them rise for another 20–30 minutes.

Step 11

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until golden on top.

Step 12

Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately brush them with the additional melted butter for a soft and shiny finish.

Step 13

Serve warm with your favorite gluten-free cinnamon butter or as a side dish for your meal.
