Calories: 201kcal
Ingredients
For the dough
- 3 ½ cups gluten free all-purpose flour (bag may say 1:1 flour blend) (420g)
- ¼ cup vegan cane sugar (50g)
- 4 teaspoons xanthan gum (omit if your gluten free flour contains it)
- 2 ¼ teaspoons instant yeast (or 1 packet)
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened dairy free milk, warmed to 105˚F-115˚F (340g)
- ½ cup unsweetened applesauce (128g)
- ¼ cup vegan butter, melted but not hot (57g)
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
For the topping
- ⅔ cup vegan butter, melted, divided (75g)
Instructions
- Into a large bowl, add 3 ½ cups gluten free flour, ¼ cup sugar, 4 teaspoon xanthan gum (if needed), 2 ¼ teaspoon instant yeast, 2 teaspoon salt, and 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder. Whisk together really well.
- Add in 1 ½ cups warmed dairy free milk, ½ cup applesauce, ¼ cup vegan butter, and 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar. Use a spatula to bring together really well.
- Once combined, remove and shape into a ball. Carefully remove dough from bowl, oil bowl and place dough back into bowl. Cover and let rise for 60-90 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Once doubled, use a scale to weight the entire dough ball and then divide by 15. Grease your hands with oil, then pull off pieces in that amount and roll into a ball.
- Place each ball, seam side down, into a greased 9x13 baking pan. Repeat until no dough remains.
- Cover pan and let rise for another 30-60 minutes or until doubled in size. Preheat the oven to 375˚F while rising this second time. Once ready, brush each roll with ⅓ cup of the melted butter.*After this rise, you want the dough balls to slightly be touching each other. If they are not touching, give them a little bit longer.
- Place baking dish in oven for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and brush with remaining ⅓ cup melted butter. Best served warmed. Makes 15 dinner rolls.
