Cooking Steps

Preheat the oven to 190 °C (375 °F) and adjust the oven rack to the center position. Prepare a baking sheet (approximately 30 cm x 40 cm or 12 in x 16 in) by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with olive oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 ½ cups (300 g) of gluten-free all-purpose flour, 2 ¼ teaspoons (1 packet) of instant yeast, 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and ½ teaspoon of baking soda. Whisk together until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup (240 ml) of warm water (about 40 °C or 105 °F), 2 tablespoons of olive oil (or melted butter), 2 large eggs, and 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir until a soft dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but hold its shape.
Dust your hands with gluten-free flour. Divide the dough into 12 equal portions and shape each portion into a round ball.
Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.
Cover the baking sheet loosely with plastic wrap or a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm area for approximately 30–45 minutes, until the rolls double in size and are fluffy.
Once the rolls have risen, remove the cover and bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and the rolls sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
The internal temperature should reach at least 90 °C (190 °F).
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the rolls cool on the sheet for 5–10 minutes.
Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely, allowing the exterior to maintain its crispness while the interior remains soft.

Variations

Herb-Infused Rolls: Add 2 tablespoons (30 g) of finely chopped fresh herbs such as rosemary or thyme to the dry ingredients for an aromatic flavor.
Cheesy Dinner Rolls: Incorporate 1 cup (100 g) of shredded dairy-free cheese into the dough for a rich, cheesy taste that’s still gluten-free.
Sweet Cinnamon Rolls: Mix 1 tablespoon (15 g) of ground cinnamon and ¼ cup (50 g) of brown sugar into the dry ingredients; roll out the dough, sprinkle with additional cinnamon-sugar, and roll into a log for a sweet variation.
Vegan Dinner Rolls: Substitute the eggs with ½ cup (120 ml) of unsweetened applesauce and use a dairy-free butter substitute to create delicious vegan rolls.

I like to arrange them in a rustic basket lined with a linen cloth, adding a touch of elegance. A sprinkle of fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil can also enhance their visual appeal.
