Everyone loves a soft fluffy dinner roll. These are the gluten free version I came up with for my family to enjoy at the holidays, with soups or with dinner. They are moist and have a great flavor. I love using the cast iron skillet for this recipe. The walls of the skillet help keep the rolls from thinning out too much and they rise beautifully. Serve with butter, jam, honey or just eat plain. These are a welcome addition to any table.

If you are new to gluten free baking and the thought of using 5 different flours in a recipe it too overwhelming, you can use an all-purpose flour mix. I have used Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Baking Flour and Better Batter. Just replace all the flours with 3 cups of all-purpose flour. The flour mixes I've tried work but don't have as good of a flavor. The flours used in this mix I make into my all-purpose bread flour mix. I use this flour mix for all my breads, rolls, and cinnamon rolls. All the flours I use are from Bob's Red Mill.

Dough will be thick and sticky

Soft and Fluffy Gluten Free Pull-Apart Rolls

by Naomi Petrik November-19-2017

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients
1 cup Rice Flour (I use 1/2 cup of sweet rice flour and 1/2 cup white rice flour)
1/2 cup Almond Flour
1/2 cup Potatoe Starch Flour
1/2 cup Tapioca Flour
1/2 cup Sorghum Flour
1 Tbs Xanthan Gum
1 tsp Salt
2 tsp Baking Powder
1 package Yeast
Wet Ingredients
1 1/2 cups Milk or Milk Alternative (I use Ripple Milk or regular Organic Milk)
1 Tbs Apple Cider Vinegar
1/2 cup Oil
4 Tbs Honey
4 Egg Whites

Instructions

1. In a 2 cup glass measuring cup, heat milk to about 110 degrees. Add apple cider vinegar and stir to combine. Set aside. It will start looking like buttermilk.2. Combine dry ingredients in the bowl of the stand mixer. Yeast can be put in last on top of flour mix. It does not have to proof.3. Add wet ingredients and milk/vinegar mixture to dry ingredients and mix on med/high speed for 3-5 minutes. Dough will be sticky and smooth. It is important to mix 3-5 minutes. 4. With a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop rolls into a cast iron skillet. I spray the measuring cup with cooking spray or oil so the dough doesn't stick to the cup and rolls look more smooth. Dough is really sticky. After I have added 12 rolls to the skillet I add oil to my hands and smooth the top of the rolls.5. Cover the cast iron skillet with with plastic wrap that has been sprayed with cooking spray and let rolls rise in a warm place (about 90 degree) for about 30 minutes or until double in size. I usually turn on the oven briefly and then turn it off when it is around 90 degrees and let the rolls rise in the oven. When rolls have finished rising, remove them from the oven and preheat oven to 350 degrees.6. Bake rolls 25-30 minutes or until golden brown on top.7. Remove from oven and remove from skillet to let cool. Enjoy.
