Gluten Free Buns

  • 315 grams gluten free flour blend
  • 1 tsp xanthan gum (omit if blend above includes it)
  • 75 grams tapioca starch (some additional for handling/kneading)
  • 1 tbsp instant yeast
  • 30 grams sugar
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 9 oz warm milk

  1. In a stand mixer, combine dry ingredients and mix; then add wet ingredients and mix with the paddle attachment, beat vigorously for 5 minutes
  2. Transfer to lightly oiled bowl, cover tightly and allow to rise (ideally about 1.5 in size) for 2 hours (or up to 24 in refrigerator)
  3. If refrigerating, remove dough and allow to come to room temperature for 2 – 4 hours before next step
  4. Divide the dough into 6 portions, apply some tapioca start to your hands and knead each roll, then shape into a cylinder for hot dogs or round for hamburgers. Keep in a pan so each holds its shape
  5. Cover and allow shaped rolls to rise for 45 minutes to 2 hours (1.5 their original size)
  6. Drizzle with oil or an egg wash and bake at 350 degrees for 33 minutes (or until inside reaches 190 degrees)
