Total Time: 40 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
- In a separate small bowl, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the buttermilk and half of the garlic-butter mixture. Stir until a soft dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured gluten-free surface. Gently knead the dough 4-5 times to bring it together.
- Roll the dough to approximately 1/2 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut out 12 rolls.
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are slightly touching each other.
- Brush the tops of the rolls with the remaining garlic-butter mixture.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the rolls are cooked through.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
Tips
- Always use a high-quality gluten-free all-purpose flour blend for the best texture and rise.
- Don't overwork the dough - gentle kneading is key to keeping the rolls tender.
- Ensure your buttermilk is at room temperature for better ingredient integration.
- Use fresh garlic for the most robust flavor - pre-minced garlic can't compare to freshly chopped cloves.
- For extra golden tops, brush the rolls with an egg wash before adding the garlic-butter mixture.
- Let the rolls rest slightly touching each other on the baking sheet to help them rise and stay soft.
- If the edges start browning too quickly, cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil to prevent burning.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture - these rolls are most magical when warm and fresh from the oven.
