Delicious Gluten-Free Sourdough Dinner Rolls
These gluten-free sourdough dinner rolls are light, fluffy, and perfectly golden-brown. Each roll has a soft crust and a tender crumb, making them a delightful addition to your table.
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten-free sourdough starter (active and bubbly)
- 1 cup warm water
- 3 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend
- 1/4 cup olive oil or melted butter
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum (if not included in your flour blend)
- 1 egg (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and gluten-free sourdough starter. Stir in honey or maple syrup and olive oil.
- Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, salt, instant yeast, and xanthan gum. Gradually add the dry mix to the wet ingredients, stirring until a sticky dough forms.
- Rise: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Shape Rolls: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish. Using wet hands, scoop out the dough and form it into small balls. Place the rolls in the prepared baking dish, leaving some space between them.
- Second Rise: Cover the rolls again and let them rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Bake: If desired, brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden finish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool: Let the rolls cool for a few minutes in the pan before transferring them to a wire rack.
