Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour blend ensure it includes xanthan gum
  • 1 cup tapioca starch
  • 2 ½ teaspoons instant yeast
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup warm milk or non-dairy milk, about 110°F / 43°C
  • 2 large eggs at room temperature
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted (or neutral oil like avocado or sunflower oil)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for brushing before baking

Equipment

Method
 

Step 1: Prepare the Dough
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, tapioca starch, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the warm milk, eggs, and melted butter. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing with an electric mixer or spoon until a smooth, sticky dough forms.
Step 2: Shape the Buns
  1. Lightly flour your hands with tapioca starch and divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each into a log about 5 to 6 inches long. Place them spaced apart on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 3: Let the Dough Rise
  1. Cover the shaped buns with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap. Let rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 45–60 minutes, or until puffy and nearly doubled in size.
Step 4: Bake the Buns
