Ingredients for Gluten Free Sourdough Rolls

• 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 cup sourdough starter (gluten-free)
• 1/4 cup warm water
• 1 tablespoon honey or sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon vinegar

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt. In another bowl, mix the gluten-free sourdough starter, warm water, honey (or sugar), olive oil, and vinegar until smooth.
2. Combine: Gradually add the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms. If it feels too sticky, you can add a bit more flour.
3. First Rise: Cover your bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rest for about 30 minutes to rise slightly.
4. Shape the Rolls: After resting, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). With wet hands, scoop out portions of the dough and shape them into small rolls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spaced apart.
5. Second Rise: Allow the shaped rolls to rise for another 30 minutes. You can cover them with the kitchen towel again if you like.
6. Bake: Once risen, pop them into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
7. Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store for later!

Top Tips for Perfecting Gluten Free Sourdough Rolls

• Flour Substitutions: If you want to experiment, try other gluten-free flours like almond flour or coconut flour, but be mindful that the texture may vary.
• Proofing Time: Don’t rush the dough’s resting time. Giving it the chance to rise contributes significantly to the final texture.
• Avoiding Stickiness: Use wet hands when shaping the rolls; it helps manage the stickiness of the dough.
• Keep it Fresh: Always ensure the sourdough starter is active before use to enhance the flavor!

Storing and Reheating Tips

To maintain the quality of your Gluten Free Sourdough Rolls, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. If you need to keep them longer, consider freezing them. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag. They can last up to three months in the freezer!

To reheat, simply place them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes. This will revive their crispy exterior and soft interior, making them taste as if they were just baked!
