Making Easy Squishy Soft Gluten-Free Rolls is a straightforward process that anyone can follow. Just follow these steps for delightful results:
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine gluten-free flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Whisk to combine.
- Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix warm water, olive oil, and apple cider vinegar. Stir to combine.
- Combine Mixtures: Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients while stirring, until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the Dough: Knead the dough for about 2–3 minutes until smooth. It will be slightly tacky but should not stick significantly to your hands.
- First Rise: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
- Shape the Rolls: Once risen, punch the dough down. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
- Second Rise: Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are close but not touching. Cover again and let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare for Baking: If desired, brush the tops of the rolls with an egg wash made with the beaten egg to promote browning.
- Bake: Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Cool Slightly: Remove from the oven and allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
