Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ½ cups (350g) gluten free 1:1 baking flour
- 2 tablespoons (25g) granulated sugar
- 1 packet (7g) instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (240ml) warm whole milk
- â…“ cup (75g) plain Greek yogurt, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons (42g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- 2 tablespoons (28g) unsalted butter, melted (for topping)
- Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Activate the Yeast: In the bowl of a stand mixer, whisk together the warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 5-7 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- Combine Wet Ingredients: To the yeast mixture, add the Greek yogurt, 3 tablespoons of melted butter, and the egg. Use the paddle attachment to mix on low until it’s just combined.
- Add Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together your gluten-free flour, xanthan gum (if using), and salt. With the mixer on low, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet until a sticky dough forms.
- Mix the Dough: Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for 3-4 minutes. The dough will be soft and sticky. Scrape down the sides as needed.
- First Rise: Lightly grease a large bowl. Transfer the dough to the bowl, turning it once to coat. Cover and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place for 60-90 minutes, or until nearly doubled in size.
- Prep for Shaping: Punch the dough down. Turn it out onto a surface lightly dusted with gluten-free flour. Divide the dough into two equal pieces.
- Shape the Crescents: Roll one piece of dough into a 12-inch circle. Cut the circle into 8 equal triangles. Starting at the wide end, gently roll each triangle up into a crescent shape. Repeat with the second piece of dough.
- Second Rise: Place the shaped rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, curving them slightly. Cover lightly and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) during the last 15 minutes.
- Bake to Golden Perfection: Bake the rolls for 12-15 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown on top.
- Butter and Serve: As soon as the rolls come out of the oven, brush the tops generously with the 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
