Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free whole grain flour blend
• 2 tablespoons Psyllium husk powder
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1.5 cups Warm water (110°F or 43°C)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
• 1 large Egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Gluten-free oats (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free whole grain flour blend, psyllium husk powder, instant yeast, baking powder, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm water, olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), egg (or flax egg), and apple cider vinegar.

Step 3

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula or wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. If needed, knead by hand for 1-2 minutes to ensure no dry pockets remain.

Step 4

Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm area for 20 minutes. The psyllium husk will help absorb moisture and create a pliable texture.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Divide the dough into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a small oval roll about 6 inches long. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Optional: Lightly brush the tops of the rolls with water and sprinkle with gluten-free oats for added texture.

Step 8

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when tapped.

Step 9

Remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice the rolls horizontally and fill with your favorite sandwich ingredients. Enjoy your gluten-free whole wheat hero rolls!
