Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
1/4 cup tapioca flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon baking powder

Wet Ingredients

1 cup warm milk (or dairy-free alternative)
1/4 cup melted butter (or oil)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

Prepare the Dough

In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients. In another bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.

Shape the Rolls

Using your hands, form the dough into 12 equal-sized balls. Place them in a greased baking dish.

Let Them Rise

Cover the rolls with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes or until they have doubled in size.

Bake

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Tips for Success

To achieve the best results with your gluten-free dinner rolls, be sure to measure your flour accurately. Spoon the flour into a measuring cup and level it off with a knife for perfection. Using a digital scale can also ensure precision, leading to a better texture in your rolls.

Don’t skip the rising step! Allowing the dough to rise in a warm place is crucial for achieving those light and fluffy rolls. If your kitchen is cool, preheat your oven slightly and turn it off, then place the dough inside for an ideal rising environment.

Storage and Reheating

To store your gluten-free rolls, allow them to cool completely before placing them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for up to two days, or in the refrigerator for about a week. For longer storage, consider freezing them; just make sure to wrap them well to prevent freezer burn.

When you’re ready to enjoy them again, simply reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5-10 minutes. This will restore their softness and warmth, making them just as delightful as when they were first baked.
