Cooking Steps

1. Gather all ingredients and tools: measuring cups, mixing bowls, spatula, whisk, parchment paper, baking sheet, and a kitchen towel.

2. In a small bowl, combine 240 ml (1 cup) warm water (43°C/110°F) with 2 teaspoons active dry yeast and 1 tablespoon honey. Let it rest for 5-10 minutes until foamy, indicating that the yeast is active.

3. While the yeast is activating, preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and position the rack in the center.

4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 240 g (2 cups) gluten-free all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper.

5. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the foamy yeast mixture, 3 tablespoons olive oil, and 2 large eggs.

Mix together using a spatula until combined and no dry flour remains.

6. Incorporate 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary, and 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme into the dough. The mixture should be moist but slightly sticky.

7. Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest in a warm place for about 30 minutes to 1 hour until it has slightly risen (the dough shouldn’t double in size).

8. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a greased spatula, scoop portions of the dough (about 60 g/2 oz each) and form them into balls.

Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space in between.

9. Brush the tops of the rolls with 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of extra olive oil, ensuring they’re evenly coated for a golden finish.

10. Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they’re golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.

The internal temperature should reach 93°C (200°F).

11. Once baked, remove the rolls from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack for complete cooling (about 15 minutes).

12. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy the aromatic garlic and herbs!
