Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 cups Warm Water (about 110°F)
  • 2.25 teaspoons Active Dry Yeast
  • 1.5 tablespoons Granulated Sugar
  • 2 large Eggs (at room temperature)
  • 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (melted)
  • 3 cups Gluten-Free Flour Yeast Baking Blend
  • 2 pinches Kosher Salt
  • 1 large Egg Wash (beaten with 1 tablespoon of water)
  • Sesame Seeds (optional for topping)

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Rubber spatula
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. Once the yeast is activated, add the eggs and melted butter to the mixture. Whisk until well combined and smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the gluten-free flour and kosher salt to evenly distribute the salt throughout the flour.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold the ingredients until you achieve a thick, sticky dough.
  5. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. With wet hands, divide the dough into equal portions and shape them into round buns.
  6. Cover the shaped buns with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise for about 30-40 minutes in a warm place.
  7. After the buns have risen, brush the tops with the egg wash mixture and sprinkle sesame seeds on top if desired. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Once baked, remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. They are ready to be sliced and used!

Notes

  • Ensure your water is at the right temperature (about 110°F) to activate the yeast.
  • Don't skip the rising time for the right texture.
  • Experiment with different gluten-free flour blends for your favorite.
