Ingredients

500 g homemade gluten-free flour blend FTL blend*
25 g baking powder
1 tablespoon light soft brown sugar
2 teaspoons salt
300 g milk I used almond milk
30 g psyllium husk not ground
200 g water
60 g olive oil
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

Glaze

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons maple syrup

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C fan assisted / gas mark 4 / 350°F.

Prepare the Dry Ingredients:

In a large bowl (or bowl of a stand mixer), whisk together the homemade gluten-free flour blend, baking powder, sugar and salt until evenly combined.

Make the Psyllium Gel:

Prepare the psyllium gel by mixing the psyllium husk with the water in a small bowl. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens to a gel.

Warm the Milk:

Gently warm the milk to a temperature of 38–46°C (100–115°F).

Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

Add the warm milk, psyllium gel, olive oil, and vinegar to the dry ingredients. Use an electric hand beater (or the paddle attachment of your stand mixer) to mix until a soft dough forms.

Shape the Dough:

Divide the dough into 9 equal portions, each weighing approximately 125g. Roll each portion using your hand against a clean work surface to achieve a really smooth ball.

Arrange in Baking Dish:

Place the dough balls into a 9-inch baking dish, spacing them evenly.

Prepare the Glaze:

In a small bowl, whisk together maple syrup and olive oil until well combined.

Brush the Rolls:

Lightly brush the surface of each roll with the glaze, ensuring it doesn’t drip down the sides.

Bake the Rolls:

Place the baking dish on the middle shelf of the pre-heated oven. Bake for 50 minutes until the rolls are golden and cooked through.

Cool and Serve:

Remove the rolls from the oven and immediately transfer them out of the baking dish to cool on a wire rack. Allow them to cool for about 15 minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Gluten-Free Flour – FTL Blend: This recipe uses my Homemade Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour and I don’t recommend substituting. It is a balanced mix of wholegrain and starchy flours, eliminating the need for xanthan gum. The blend includes sweet rice flour, sorghum flour, oat flour, and tapioca flour, providing structure and texture without extra binders. For substitution tips, check the original post for this flour mix.

Shaping the Rolls: For a smooth finish, shape the rolls into round balls using your hands against a clean, smooth surface. Place them in the dish with the smooth side on top.

Glazing the Rolls: Apply the runny maple syrup and oil glaze carefully to avoid drips. You only need to glaze the tops to enhance their colour.

Storing: These rolls stay soft and although are best eaten on the day they're baked they will last up to 3 days in an airtight container (not plastic) in a cool, dark place.

Freezing: Cool the rolls completely, then wrap them in plastic wrap or foil and place in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw at room temperature or reheat in the oven when ready to eat.

Ingredient measurements: Please note when you see ‘grams’ listed as opposed to ‘millilitres,’ or any other term of measurement, that is not incorrect. I weigh all of my ingredients, including liquids, for accuracy.

US customary measurements: These US measurements for the ingredients provided are based on a conversion calculator. This recipe was tested with metric measurements and I recommend using a digital scale to weigh ingredients for the most accurate results.
