If you want to bake gluten-free rolls, you have to use alternative types of flour made from corn, rice, or oats. Find out how easy gluten-free baking can be in our article.
Gluten-Free Buns: Easy recipe
In principle, you bake with gluten-free flour in a similar way to conventional flour. Note, however, that it may behave differently when baked due to the lack of glue gluten.
For a simple recipe that yields about eight buns, you will need the following ingredients:
- 200 grams of rice or corn flour
- 100 grams of cornstarch
- 100 grams of potato flour
- 12 grams locust bean gum or ground psyllium husk (as a gluten substitute)
- 1 packet of gluten-free baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of salt
- 1 gram of baking soda
- 400ml of water
- 2 tablespoons vinegar (ideally apple cider vinegar)
- 50 grams of margarine
How to prepare the bun dough
Take a large bowl, a small saucepan, a mixer, and a baking tray lined with baking paper – and let’s get started with the gluten-free rolls.
- In the mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, cornstarch, potato flour, locust bean gum, baking powder, salt, and baking soda and mix together.
- Melt the margarine on low heat and add it to the water. Also, add the vinegar.
- Gradually add the liquid ingredients to the dry flour mixture. Meanwhile, stir the batter.
- You now have a relatively moist dough, which you take out of the bowl and place on the work surface in front of you. Sprinkle them with flour beforehand.
- Divide the dough into about eight equal parts and shape it into balls.
- Place the bun balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you want, you can score at the top.
- Set the oven to 200 degrees top and bottom heat and bake the rolls for 30 minutes.
