Watch the video to see how easy it is to make these!

You guys, I am SO, SO, SO excited about this gluten free dinner rolls recipe today. SO excited! Why? Because it’s freakin-amazing!

And I’m not just saying that because it’s my recipe. I’m saying because it’s the truth and I don’t have to eat gluten free like my husband does and I’d STILL choose these rolls any day of the week.

They are soft. So, so soft. (Are you sick of “so” yet? I just can’t help it, these rolls have me doing a happy dance.) They also pull apart really nicely, no crumbling, no tearing, no ripping involved.

These gluten free dinner rolls also have a really nice “chew” to them. They remind me so much of my grandmother’s Parker House Rolls, which are a staple at every holiday meal. My husband absolutely loved her rolls and has severely missed them since going gluten free.

He said that these are “just like hers but gluten free!”. Guys, that’s like the highest compliment someone could give right? Some girls like to be told their hair looks nice. I like to be told my baked goods don’t taste gluten free 😉🤣

Step 7. Mix on low speed until combined.

Step 8. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl to form a ball.

Step 9. Turn the dough ball out onto a prepared surface (flour on top of wax paper or plastic wrap)

Step 10. Sprinkle flour on top of dough and begin to cut into 8 equal sized pieces.

Step 11. Begin to form the dough into a ball, using well-floured hands.

Step 12. Finish forming the dough to a well rounded dough ball.

Step 13. Place the dough ball into the prepared pan. Be sure to flour hands each time!

Step 15. Brush tops of rolls with 1 tablespoon of butter. Then bake 20-25 minutes.

Step 16. After baking, brush with 1 more tablespoon of butter and serve!

Two things that I think work really well in this recipe and make it as good as it is: arrowroot and “sweet white” sorghum flour.

Arrowroot is a bit starchier than other gluten free starches (like corn or potato) and I’ve noticed that it can potentially make gluten free baked goods a bit gummier if you use too much in conjunction with xanthan gum. However, it’s perfect in this recipe because it gives these rolls that chew-factor that everyone loves about bread.

The sorghum flour gives lends these rolls a wheat-like taste. My grandmother uses some whole wheat flour in her rolls and I was trying to mimic that flavor. The sorghum flour really does the job well!

This gluten free dinner roll recipe is adapted the same dough that I used for my Gluten Free Blueberry Sweet Rolls. The difference is the sorghum flour but it really goes to show just how versatile the dough is. It’s similar to my Gluten Free Cinnamon Sticks dough too!

By popular demand, I’ve also made gluten free cinnamon rolls using this same dough!

Having a delicious, workable gluten free dough is going to change your lives, guys!

I’m really excited that you guys can add these gluten free dinner rolls to your family meals, they’re a great alternative when you don’t feel like gluten free biscuits. Some meals just need a nice, yeasty roll! And for a nice flavor twist, try my gluten free rolls with garlic and herbs – holy cow they’re good!

Enjoy!
