Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the dough
  • 1 cup warm milk (dairy or plant-based) Unsweetened is best
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast Make sure it's fresh for best results
  • 2 tablespoons sugar This helps with the yeast rise
  • 2 large eggs Room temperature is preferred
  • 4 tablespoons butter, melted Vegan butter works if needed
  • 2 cups gluten-free flour blend Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 recommended or Cup4Cup
  • 1 teaspoon xanthan gum Only if not included in flour blend
  • 1/4 cup seltzer water Plain, no flavor, for airy texture
  • 1 teaspoon salt Don't overdo it

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Whisk warm milk, yeast, and a little sugar in a big bowl. Let that get bubbly.
  2. Add eggs (one at a time), melted butter, the rest of the sugar, and salt.
  3. Mix in the gluten-free flour blend and xanthan gum. Stir until the dough is like thick cake batter.
  4. Add seltzer water and mix until combined. The dough will be sticky.
  5. Grease your hands and scoop dough balls into a greased muffin tin or baking pan so they barely touch.
  6. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until nearly doubled (do not peek).
Baking
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Bake for about 20-25 minutes until barely brown on top.
  3. Tap one to check—if it sounds hollow, they are done. Cool slightly before serving.

Notes

These rolls are great for mini sliders, toasted with soup, or simply buttered. They can be made dairy-free using plant milk and vegan butter. Freeze leftovers in a zip bag and reheat as needed.
