Ingredients 

  • 3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, , divided*
  • teaspoons active dry yeast
  • ½ teaspoon granulated sugar
  • ½ cup milk, , heated to 100-110°F*
  • cup white rice flour
  • cup brown rice flour
  • ½ cup arrowroot powder/starch
  • ¼ cup tapioca flour
  • 2 tablespoons sorghum flour
  • teaspoons xanthan gum
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon kosher or fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, , plus more for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 large egg, , room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil, (or canola/vegetable/olive oil)
  • Flaky sea salt, , for garnish

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8x4-inch loaf pan with 1 tablespoon butter.
  • Add the yeast and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer. Slowly pour in the milk, making sure the yeast is moistened. Let sit for at least 15 minutes to "bloom" as you prepare the other ingredients.
  • Add the flours, arrowroot, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt to a medium bowl. Whisk well to combine, then whisk in the chopped rosemary.
  • When the yeast has bloomed (is very foamy), add the honey, egg, and avocado oil. Use the paddle attachment to mix on medium low speed until combined.
  • Add the flour mixture and mix on low until combined. Stop the mixer and scrape down the bowl, then mix on medium speed for 1 minute.
  • Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl and form into a ball (dough should form easily) and turn the dough ball out onto a well-floured surface.
  • Sprinkle the top of the dough with additional gluten-free flour, flatten it into a rectangle, and use a knife to cut the dough into 8 equal pieces.
  • Use well-floured hands to roll each piece of dough into a ball (best results if you squish/flatten the dough in your hands first, then roll into a ball). Place the dough ball in the prepared baking pan and repeat with the remaining dough balls. Dust your hands with gluten-free flour, as needed, to keep them from getting sticky.
  • Place the dough to rise in a warm spot (I like mine to rise on top of my preheated oven) and cover loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel. Let the rolls rise for 1 hour.
  • After rising, brush the tops of the rolls with 1 tablespoon melted butter. Bake for 20-24 minutes.
  • Brush with the remaining tablespoon of melted butter and sprinkle the tops with flaky sea salt and more chopped rosemary. Remove from the pan and serve hot or warm.
  • Store leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to two days or wrap them in plastic wrap and place in a freezer bag to freeze.

Notes

*For dairy-free rolls, use unsweetened coconut milk beverage in place of the milk. Brush the pan and tops of the rolls with a small amount of oil instead of butter.

    My daughter and I are GF for several years now. Most recipes disappoint mightily but this was a winner! Probably the closest to “real” bread I have baked. Even my non-GF husband said this is a keeper. Thank you!
