Description

If you're avoiding gluten, you know how hard it is to find a good gluten-free bun. Luckily, this easy recipe will give you delicious, soft buns that are perfect for burgers, sandwiches, or even as a breakfast roll.

Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten-free flour blend
  • 1/4 cup tapioca starch
  • 1/4 cup potato starch
  • 2 tsp xanthan gum
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tbsp active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup warm water

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Whisk
  • Electric mixer (optional)
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, tapioca starch, potato starch, xanthan gum, salt, sugar, and active dry yeast.
  3. Add the unsweetened applesauce, eggs, olive oil, and warm water to the mixing bowl. Mix until well combined. You can use an electric mixer if you have one, but it's not necessary.
  4. Cover the mixing bowl with a towel and let the dough rise for 10 minutes.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Use a spoon or cookie scoop to divide the dough into 6 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes or until the buns are golden brown.
  8. Let the buns cool on a wire rack before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • If you don't have a gluten-free flour blend, you can use 1/3 cup brown rice flour, 1/3 cup white rice flour, 1/3 cup tapioca starch, and 1 tsp xanthan gum.
  • If you don't have unsweetened applesauce, you can use mashed bananas or pumpkin puree instead.
  • If the dough is too dry, add more warm water, 1 tablespoon at a time.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add more gluten-free flour blend, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Recipes FAQ

Can I freeze these buns?

Yes, you can freeze these buns. Let them cool completely, then wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag. They will keep for up to 3 months in the freezer. To thaw, unwrap the buns and let them sit at room temperature for a few hours or microwave them for 30 seconds.

Can I use a different type of flour?

You can try using a different gluten-free flour blend, but I can't guarantee the results. Different flours have different textures and absorb moisture differently, so you may need to adjust the amount of liquid in the recipe.

Can I make these buns vegan?

Yes, you can make these buns vegan by replacing the eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tbsp water) and using a non-dairy milk in place of the warm water.

Recipe Tips

  • Make sure your ingredients are at room temperature before you start mixing the dough.
  • If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a spoon to portion out the dough. Just make sure each portion is roughly the same size so the buns bake evenly.
  • You can brush the buns with an egg wash (1 egg whisked with 1 tbsp water) before baking to give them a shiny finish.
  • If you want to make smaller buns, divide the dough into 8 portions instead of 6.
