These easy gluten-free rustic yeast rolls aren’t glamorous looking but they’re a fast and delicious dinner side. They take ten minutes or less of prep, 30 minutes to rise, and then about 15 minutes of baking time. Makes one dozen.

Ingredients:

  • 1 C warm water
  • 2 ¼ t yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 t sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 2 T butter, melted
  • ¼ milk, heated (see below)
  • 1 C white or brown rice flour
  • ½ C oat flour
  • ½ C tapioca flour
  • ¼ C potato starch
  • 1 T psyllium husk
  • ½ t salt

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Mix water, yeast, and sugar. Allow to sit for about 5 minutes or until you have all the other ingredients mixed and ready.

Yeast being proofed.
Yeast and sugar will bubble up in the warm water in a process called ‘proofing’.

Heat milk until bubbles start to form on edges. This usually takes about 30 seconds in the microwave. (Do not boil.) Melt butter.

Mix egg, milk, and butter in large bowl. Add yeast mixture and stir to combine.

Whisk together remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add to egg and yeast mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.
