What are the essential ingredients for gluten-free rolls?
Before exploring the recipes, let us discuss the ingredients that make gluten-free baking successes. The foundation for mastering gluten-free hamburger rolls are in the appropriate combination of specialty gluten-free baking flour and binders. Knowing these two ingredients will make baking other items made with gluten-free flour very simple.
Mix of the right flour.
Gluten-free baking requires a blend of different specialty gluten-free baking flour, to mimic the properties of regular wheat flour. Each gluten-free baking flour brings something different to the end product ensuring a successful baking experience along with a wide variety of flavors and textures.
Rice flour is an important ingredient for gluten-free desserts because of its light consistency and the neutral flavor it adds. The smoothness of its texture contributes to smoothing out the dough and flour mixture.
Tapioca flour allows the mixture to become more chewy because it helps the ingredients clump together. It is an important ingredient for providing the mixture with more of an authentic texture like that of bread.
Moisture and protein are the nutty flavors that almond flour contributes to the mixture. It also assists with increasing the nutritional value of the food.
A small amount of coconut flour is useful for increasing the sweetness of the mixture and adding fiber. It is very absorbent and can also add a mild coconut flavor that works well for sweet and savory food.
Binders and leavening agents
When gluten is not present, one must include other ingredients to account for the lack of it’s framework. There are some main elements that will help make the outer parts of the rolls golden and soft.
Xanthan gum and guar gum increase the mixture’s elasticity and structure. Without the stretchy framework that gluten provides, these ingredients are vital to the rolls’ texture.
Yeast and baking powder are important for providing a light and airy texture to the rolls and for adding some additional rise to the mixture. These two ingredients are crucial for leavening.
GFs Hamburger Rolls Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups of rice flour
- 1 cup of tapioca flour
- 1/2 cup of almond flour
- 2 tsp of xanthan gum
- 1 tbsp of baking powder
- 1/2 tsp of salt
- 1 cup of warm water
- 2 tbsp of olive oil
- 1 tbsp of sugar
- 2 tsp of active dry yeast
Instructions
- First Step: Prepare the dough. Prepare the mixture of yeast and water with the oil and sugar. Make sure the mixture is warm. Let the yeast bubble and react for five minutes before combining with the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Make sure the yeast is alive and ready to help the dough rise.
- Second Step: Combine and knead. Pour the yeast mixture in and make sure it makes a dough. Slightly knead the dough and make sure the dough is elastic. If the dough does not pull and is easy to tear, it might not be kneaded for long enough.
- Third Step: The first rise. Cover the dough and set it in the warm place with a prone and warm bottom for about one hour. The dough needs structure and flavor before baking.
- Shaping the Dough: Start by setting the oven to preheat at a temperature of 375°F (190°C). Next, take the dough and cut it into equal-sized pieces. After this, take each portion and mold it into a ball and place the shaped roll onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Shaping the dough helps it to bake edibly and looks nice too.
- The Second Rise: After this, cover the tray of rolls with a tea towel and allow the dough to rise for a further 30 minutes. This second rise is the most important one, as it will allow the rolls to get the right texture.
- Baking: Once this is done, take the tea towel off and brush the top of the dough with a small amount of olive oil. Pop the rolls into the oven for 20 – 25 minutes, or until the dough is a nice golden brown color. After they are done baking, allow them to cool for a little while before cutting them. The olive oil gives them a nice shine as well!
Cheesy Gluten Free Garlic Hamburger Rolls.
For an even tastier roll, try these Gluten Free Cheesy Garlic Hamburger Rolls. The flavor of these rolls is a perfect complement to the toppings rolls and is a nice change.
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free flour blend
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup warm milk (or non-dairy alternative)
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons melted butter (or dairy-free alternative)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
Directions
- Mix Dry Ingredients: Combine the gluten-free flour, parmesan, garlic powder, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt into a bowl. Garlic and parmesan provide a little bit of extra flavor for the rolls.
- Activate Yeast: Froth yeast, sugar, and warm milk together in a separate bowl. Yeast must be activated in order for the dough to rise.
- Combine and Knead: To your bowl of dry ingredients, add the frothy yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Stir the ingredients together until a dough forms and gently knead. The butter and egg provide more structure and softness to the dough.
- Let Dough Rise: Dough, now kneaded into a cohesive mass, should be placed into a large, greased bowl. Cover the bowl and let rise for an hour. During this time, the dough will add more structure and depth of flavor.
- Shaping and baking: While the rolls are still rising, preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Let the dough rise on the baking sheet for 30 minutes after the initial shaping. Once there are 5 minutes left on the timer, put the rolls in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the rolls are golden brown and look to be cheesy on top. The cheese on top makes for a really nice crust!
Advice on Making and Baking Gluten-Free Rolls
How Hot is Hot? The temperature of the water/milk mixture should be warm, but be careful not to use boiling hot temperature and wither risk burning yourself, the yeast or the dough. The yeast needs the water to rise, so make sure it is warm.
- Definitely Let It Rise: For the best rolls, let the dough rise for the full time recommended on the recipe, then shape the rolls, let the rolls rise again (and then bake to get fluffy and delicious). This full rise time helps develop the dough’s flavors and structure so that it is not dense.
- Wrapping Up: Sealing the rolls in an airtight container is the best way to store. For the best taste, reopen the container after a couple of days and pop a roll in an oven or toaster to reheat. Proper storage keeps rolls safe from going stale.
