Equipment
Ingredients
- 10 oz. milk OR sparkling water OR gluten-free beer OR club soda OR gingerale – room temperature
- 3 large eggs brought to room temperature (or egg substitute)
- 3 Tbs. olive oil
- 1 tsp. apple cider vinegar
- 2 Tbs. honey or agave nectar
- 2¾ (grams) cups (grams) gfJules All Purpose Gluten Free Flour
- 1/4 (16) cup (grams) dry milk powder/non-dairy milk powder OR coconut milk powder OR plain mashed potato flakes OR GF instant vanilla pudding powder**
- 1 tsp. sea salt
- 1 Tbs. granulated cane sugar
- 2¼ tsp. rapid rise or bread machine yeast
- extra olive oil or egg wash or milk (dairy or soy, coconut or hemp work well) for brushing on rolls
- sesame seeds poppy seeds or other topping of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare English Muffin rings, mason jar lids or bun pans by oiling lightly. Place the rings on a parchment-lined baking sheet and set aside. Or, if you have a hamburger bun pan, oil the pan well and set it aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, apple cider vinegar and honey.
- In another large bowl, whisk all dry ingredients except yeast (gfJules Flour, salt, milk powder/potato flakes and sugar). With mixer on low speed, slowly pour the dry ingredients into the liquids to combine.
- Continue beating while slowly pouring in the milk or sparkling water (or other beverage) to mix. Once incorporated, add the yeast. Beat until the batter is smooth, then increase mixing speed and beat for 3-4 minutes.
- Spoon batter into oiled rings or pans, filling no more than half-way up. Smooth the tops with a wet rubber spatula. Don’t make the buns too large at this stage because they will rise.
- Brush all buns lightly with olive oil, egg wash or milk and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.
- Cover with oiled parchment and let rise in a warm, moist place for 30 minutes (an oven preheated to 200℉, then turned off, with a bowl of water in the oven to add moisture, is a good option). Do not let the rolls rise more than double their size, or they will rise too much to support themselves and may collapse when cooling.
- When the rolls have risen, bake at 375º F (static) or 350º F (convection) for approximately 10-12 minutes (for mini buns, start checking at 7 minutes). The internal temperature of the rolls should be approximately 205 – 210º F and a toothpick inserted into the centers should come out dry with only crumbs attached. The rolls should have risen above the tops of the pans, and will be golden brown with a nice crust.
- Remove to cool in the pans for 5 minutes, then gently remove from the pans and serve with your favorite burger!

Notes
** with any of the milk powder substitutes offered, make sure they are gluten free. Measure out 1/4 cup by spooning into a cup measure and leveling off. The vanilla pudding powder can be found in any grocery store. Jello brand is an option most can find but it will make the buns taste sweeter, like Hawaiian Bread. Mashed potato flakes/instant mashed potatoes can also be found in any grocery store, but opt for plain unless you like the flavors, and be sure they're gluten free!
