Ingredients
  

  • 2¾ cups (11½ oz.) very good quality gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 1/2 tsp. xanthan gum
  • 2 tsp. SAF instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 cup warm water (105-110°)
  • 2 Tbsp. butter dairy-free margarine, or Spectrum shortening (melted)
  • 1 egg (preferably room temp)
  • 1 tsp. cider vinegar
  • Additional 1/2-1 Tbsp. melted butter for brushing

Equipment

  • stand mixer
  • 9×9-inch pan

Directions
 

  1. In the bowl of an electric mixer, stir together the flour, xanthan gum, yeast, sugar, and salt.
  2. Turn the mixer to low and pour in the water, melted butter or substitute, egg, and vinegar.
  3. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes.
  4. Spray an 8″ or 9″ round cake pan or pie plate. Using a 2″ scoop or a 1/3 cup measure, drop 9 mounds into the pan: one in the center and 8 around the edge.
  5. Dip your fingertips in warm water and smooth the tops, wetting them again as needed.
  6. Cover with a dry towel and let rise in a warm spot for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  7. Toward the end of rising, heat the empty oven to 400° (remove the rolls first if they are rising in the oven).
  8. Bake at 400° for 25-28 minutes, until the tops are golden and the middle reads 200°.
  9. Brush with the extra 1/2-1 Tbsp. melted butter.

Notes

To bake ahead (untested): slightly underbake, store covered at room temperature, then brush with butter and finish the bake the next day.
