Ingredients
For the Rolls:
- 3 ¼ cups (455 g) all-purpose gluten free flour blend
- 1 ½ teaspoons xanthan gum
- ½ cup (43 g) buttermilk powder
- 1 tablespoon (9 g) instant yeast
- ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon (13 g) light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter, softened
- 2 egg whites (50 g), room temperature
- 1 ½ cups (360 ml) warm water
Baking Soda Bath:
- 6 cups water
- 1 tablespoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
Optional Topping:

Instructions
- In a stand mixer bowl with a paddle attachment, combine gluten free flour blend, xanthan gum, buttermilk powder, instant yeast, cream of tartar, baking soda, and brown sugar.
- Add kosher salt and mix again.
- Mix in apple cider vinegar, softened butter, and egg whites until combined.
- With mixer on low, slowly pour in warm water, then increase speed to high and beat 3 minutes until smooth and slightly fluffy.
- Transfer dough to a lightly greased container with lid and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Turn chilled dough onto floured surface, divide into 8 portions, shape into smooth balls, then gently press into ½-inch thick disks. Place on baking sheet, cover loosely, and let rise until ~1.5x original size.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bring 6 cups water, 1 tablespoon baking soda, and 1 teaspoon salt to a boil.
- Boil risen rolls 30 seconds per side, remove with slotted spoon, and return to baking sheet.
- Make two shallow diagonal cuts on top of each roll. Optionally sprinkle coarse salt.
- Bake 30 minutes until deep golden brown. Cool slightly before serving.
