It was time to make dinner rolls. The 8 rolls were made in a Pullman pan. It was very easy and it came out great. And the best part is that it is gluten and dairy free.

I bought a new flour called Pamela’s bread mix. It is gluten and dairy free. One other trick I did was to add more Xanthan Gum even though the flour already had it in it.

Equipment:

Pullman pan (check equipment post for details)

Large mixing bowl or stand up mixer

Plastic wrap

Wire rack

Wax paper

Small bowl for water

Small bowl for egg mixture

Ingredients:

2 3/4 cups of Pamela’s Bread Mix gluten free flour

1 teaspoon of Xanthan gum (I put it in anyways)

1/4 cup of warm water (between 100-110 degrees)

1 packet of yeast (2 1/4 teaspoon)

2 tablespoon of suger (not fake sugar)

3/4 teaspoon of salt

1 cup of warmed dairy free milk (between 100-110 degrees)

1 egg

2 tablespoon of melted dairy free butter

Egg wash:

1 egg

1 tablespoon water

Directions:

1. Using a small slice of wax paper crumpled up, thoroughly spread a thin layer of dairy-free butter around the inside of the Pullman pan. This makes the rolls to not stick.
2. Combine the warm water (100 – 110 degrees) with the yeast and let sit in the stand mixer bowl for 5 minutes.
3. Whisk the flour, sugar, xanthan gum, and salt in a large mixing bowl for about 1 minute to combine the dry ingredients.
4. Add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture in the stand mixer bowl. Add the warm milk, egg and butter and then mix on medium speed for about 3 minutes until the dough is smooth using the paddle attachment on the stand mixer.
5. Pour a little flour on a flat surface. Using the 1/3 cup, roll out 8 equal size dough balls. It helps to flour your hands as well and use a small spatula. Place the 8 dough balls in the pullman pan.
6. Pour some water in a small bowl. Wet your fingers and smooth out the tops of the dough balls. This will help make a smooth top on your dinner rolls.
7. Seal the pullman pan with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm place for 2 hours. This should allow the dough to rise to double the size.
8. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
9. Combine the egg and water beating it for a minute. Brush the liquid onto the top of the dough balls.
10. Put the pan into the oven and bake for 25 -30 minutes. Check after 25 minutes and continue to bake more if needed until the tops are brown. Check by inserting a toothpick. If it comes out gooey, then bake another 5 minutes until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
11. Allow the rolls to cool for 15 minutes still in the Pullman pan on a wire rack.
12. Remove the rolls from the pan.
13. Separate the rolls and enjoy!!
