Quick Gluten Free Rolls

6/13/2013

So, I've been playing around a little bit with a new gluten free roll recipe that I think you're all going to love! I wanted something a little easier, faster, and with simpler ingredients than my other Gluten Free Soft Dinner Roll recipe.

...And the result is awesome!

These rolls are completely gluten AND dairy free and in fact, they only use water and oil as their base instead of a butter sub or milk sub. They bake up beautiful with a great golden crust and actually make wonderful hamburger buns too. But don't take my word for it! Try them out and let me know what you think!

(Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
Created by jalene

Yields 16 rolls (1/4 cup size)
Ingredients:

2 Tbsp Active Dry Yeast
1 & 1/4 cup warm water (110 degrees)
6 Tbsp grapeseed oil *see note
1/4 cup sugar (I use evaporated cane juice sugar)
2 cups brown rice flour
1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp potato starch
1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp tapioca starch
1 & 1/2 tsp xanthan gum
1 tsp sea salt
2 eggs
extra grapeseed oil for top of rolls
(optional: sesame seeds for the tops)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease 2 cookie sheets.
Whisk together the yeast and warm water. Add in the grapeseed oil and sugar. Cover with a towel and allow to double in size while you measure out your dry ingredients.
In a mixer combine the brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, xanthan, and salt. When the yeast mixture is ready, add it and the eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix on low speed for 30 seconds then turn up the speed to medium and continue mixing for 2 & 1/2 more minutes.
Immediately scoop rolls in the size of 1/4 cup dough onto the prepared pans. (For hamburger buns, you may want to use a bigger size such as 1/3 or 1/2 cup). Using wet fingers (and continually wetting them) touch up any bumps on the rolls to make them smooth. Using an oil brush or a oil mister, coat the rolls with a titch of oil. (If using, sprinkle on the sesame seeds.)
Allow the rolls to sit 5 minutes than bake 8-12 minutes or until rolls are golden brown.

Allow the rolls to cool completely before storing in a ziplock bag. I try to use these within 1-2 days, otherwise they tend to dry out. They also can be frozen for later use! Simply freeze them the day you make them for optimal freshness.

Note from jalene:

Grapeseed Oil has a higher cooking temperature than Olive Oil so it is highly recommended for this recipe. It also has a very minimal flavor so it will not affect the taste of your rolls. It is healthier than Canola Oil or other alternatives so we highly recommend only using Grapeseed Oil for this recipe.

For HAMBURGER BUNS I use 1/3 to 1/2 cup of dough per roll instead of 1/4 cup.

For EGG FREE ROLLS simply combine 2 Tablespoons of Flax Seed Meal with 6 Tablespoons of water and allow it to sit for 10 minutes. Add this mixture in when the recipe calls for the eggs. Using Flax Seed Meal makes a great moist roll with a great texture so even if you're not allergic, it's worth a try!

Gluten Free Yorkshire Pudding

After teaching one of our Gluten Free classes, a cute couple came up to me and asked if I had a Yorkshire Pudding recipe. Unfortunately, I had never even heard of it! It sounded like a yummy dessert but apparently it's a bread named after the town (Yorkshire) in England. It came about as an inventive way to use up the drippings from meat. There are MANY different variations- some using drippings, others just using butter.

So here's my version of Yorkshire Pudding. Regardless if it's identical to the gluten infested version or not, it tastes super yummy and makes a fast & tasty roll that goes great with soup! Enjoy!

Gluten Free Yorkshire Pudding

(Gluten Free, Can be Dairy Free)
Created by jalene

Ingredients:

1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/2 cup potato starch
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 cup milk (or use plain almond milk for Dairy Free)
2 large eggs
1/4 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
1/4 cup butter (or use meat drippings or Earth Balance to make it Dairy Free)
12-count muffin tin

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 F. Get all your ingredients out and set aside.
Place 1 tsp of butter into each muffin tin and place it into your preheated oven. Watch carefully while preparing the dough:
In a Blendtec blender blender your eggs. Add all of the dry ingredients (brown rice flour, potato starch, salt, baking powder, and xanthan gum). Pulse to combine, scraping sides as necessary. While the blender is running on the lowest setting, pour in the milk. Remove muffin tin from the oven after all the butter is melted and starting to bubble.
Immediately pour batter by distributing it evenly into each muffin tin and return to the pan to the oven. Bake for at least 15 minutes or until puffy and golden brown on top.

Gluten Free Soft Dinner Rolls (can also be Dairy Free)

One of the biggest complaints that I hear from people about being gluten free is about the BREAD. "It's like eating sawdust!" "It's SO dry, it just crumbles when you eat it."

WELL NOT THIS ONE!

You will be so pleasantly surprised when you try these next rolls. I took 24 of them to a family reunion for sandwiches and before you know it they were gone! I love this recipe so much I'm experimenting with it to create other variations (soon to come)! Until then, enjoy these basic dinner rolls. They're moist, hold together well, taste really similar to a regular dinner roll, and they are great for sandwiches.

Soft Gluten Free Dinner Rolls

(Gluten Free, Dairy Free)
Adapted by jalene from a recipe by Carol Kicinski

Makes 20 rolls (using 1/4 cup per roll)
For 30 rolls use a recipe and a half
Ingredients:

2 Tbsp yeast
2 tsp sugar
2 cups warm rice milk (about 100 F)
1 cup sweet white rice flour (I grind my own from calrose rice) (see note below)
1 cup brown rice flour
¾ cup potato starch (not flour)
½ cup tapioca starch
3 tsp xanthan gum
1 & ½ tsp salt
1 Tbsp baking powder
2 large eggs
¼ cup organic unsweetened applesauce or GF DF Earth Balance
¼ cup honey
1 tsp organic apple cider vinegar

Directions:

Grease 20 muffin tins and set aside.
In a small bowl combine the yeast, sugar, and warm milk. Cover with a towel and let sit 6-8 minutes.
In a mixing bowl or food processor combine rice flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, xanthan gum, salt, and baking powder.
Add the yeast mixture, 2 eggs, butter sub, honey and apple cider vinegar and blend while scraping sides. Mix for 3 minutes longer on medium speed.
For sandwich rolls, scoop ¼ cup batter into each tin. For pull apart dinner rolls, use a 1 inch cookie scooper and place 3 scoops in each muffin tin.
Spray a sheet of plastic wrap with olive oil and place on top of the rolls. Let rise 30-35 minutes. The last 10 minutes, preheat your oven to 375 F.

7. Remove plastic wrap.
8. Bake for around 15 minutes or until tops are light golden brown.

Cool slightly and remove from pan. These taste AMAZING hot out of the oven but they are also good at room temperature too. Store in an airtight container. You can even freeze them and then heat them back up when you need them.

Recipe update:

I now use 2 cups brown rice flour instead of both white rice flour and brown rice flour. It's a little bit healthier and it still works out great.
