Ingredients

• 2 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Milk (warm, about 110°F/43°C)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon White vinegar
• 2 tablespoons Butter (softened, for brushing)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Whisk well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

Step 2

In a separate bowl, mix the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and white vinegar. Make sure the milk is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.

Step 3

Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring with a spatula or wooden spoon until a soft dough forms. The mixture will be sticky, which is normal for gluten-free dough.

Step 4

Lightly flour a clean surface with gluten-free flour or use parchment paper. Turn the dough out onto the prepared surface and gently knead a few times to bring it together.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 7

Turn the dough out onto a clean surface and gently roll it into a 10-inch circle (use parchment paper or plastic wrap if needed to prevent sticking). Cut the circle into 8 triangular wedges, like a pizza.

Step 8

Starting from the wide end of each triangle, roll the dough towards the point to form crescent shapes. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, with the point tucked underneath to hold the shape.

Step 9

Brush the tops of the rolls with softened butter. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let them rest for 15 minutes while the oven finishes preheating.

Step 10

Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and brush with additional softened butter for an extra buttery finish.

Step 11

Let the crescent rolls cool slightly before serving. They are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
