Ingredients

You don’t need fancy stuff — just these basics!

4 cups gluten-free flour blend (563 grams) See Notes
2 teaspoons active dry yeast See Notes
1 teaspoon salt
1 ¼ cups milk or non-dairy milk See Notes
⅓ cup honey
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 large eggs
1 egg for the egg wash

Directions

Let’s get rolling! Just follow these simple steps:

Warm your milk and honey in a small glass dish in the microwave for 25 seconds. Make sure the liquid doesn’t exceed 110º F. Stir to combine, then add the active dry yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
In a stand mixer, combine the yeast mixture, melted butter and 2 large eggs. Mix on low speed until blended.
Gradually add the gluten-free flour blend and salt to the mixer. Mix on low speed, then increase to medium until combined. Prefer mixing by hand? Go for it!
Tear off portions of dough and roll each into small balls. Space them evenly on a parchment-lined baking sheet. A quarter sheet pan or 9×13 pan works beautifully.
Loosely cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 40-45 minutes. For better rising, place them in a warm oven set to 200º F, then turned off. (You can skip this step if it’s warm out!)
Whisk the remaining egg for the wash and brush it onto the risen rolls using a pastry brush.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350º F for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Adjust baking time based on roll size.
Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Store leftover rolls in an airtight container or freeze for freshness. When ready to enjoy, reheat in the microwave for 30 seconds.

Tips to Make Fluffy Gluten-Free Milk Honey Rolls Recipe

Want to change the texture? Swap half the flour for almond flour for a nuttier taste.
If you really want to go wild, add some herbs or spices to the dough for a savory twist.
Let the rolls rise longer for even fluffier rolls — more time means more air!
Keeping the kitchen warm? Just let the rolls find a cozy spot in the sun for that perfect rise.

Variation

Try making these rolls vegan by substituting the butter with coconut oil and using flax eggs instead of regular eggs. Add dried fruits like cranberries or nuts for a fun twist in flavor or texture!

FAQs

Can I use regular flour instead of gluten-free flour?
Sure, but this recipe is for gluten-free dough. Regular flour will change the texture and performance.

How can I make these rolls ahead of time?
You can prepare the dough and freeze it before the second rise. When ready to bake, just thaw and let them rise!

What can I do if the rolls aren’t rising?
Check the yeast’s expiration date; it can be the culprit. Make sure your liquid isn’t too hot or too cold, which can kill the yeast.
