Instructions
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Pro tip: Ensure water is warm, not hot, to avoid killing the yeast.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, sorghum flour, tapioca starch, and salt.
Pro tip: Use a fine mesh sieve to aerate the flours.
Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients
Add the yeast mixture, olive oil, and beaten eggs to the dry ingredients. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Pro tip: A stand mixer with a paddle attachment can make mixing easier.
Shape the Buns
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions. Shape each into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Pro tip: Lightly dust your hands with flour to handle the sticky dough.
Let Dough Rise
Cover the buns with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise in a warm place for about an hour.
Pro tip: The dough should double in size.
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) during the last 15 minutes of rising.
Pro tip: Ensure your oven is fully preheated for even baking.
Apply Egg Wash
Brush the tops of the buns with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds, if using.
Pro tip: Egg wash gives the buns a shiny, golden crust.
Bake
Bake the buns in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
Pro tip: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through for even browning.
Tips & Tricks
- Ensure your yeast is fresh for optimal rise.
- Use a kitchen scale for precise measurements.
- Let the dough rest in a warm place for better results.
- Brush buns with egg wash for a golden finish.
