What You’ll Need
- 2 1/2 cups Gluten-Free Flour Blend
- 1 tablespoon Gluten-Free Baking Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon Xanthan Gum
- 1 1/4 cups Warm Water (110°F to 115°F)
- 2 tablespoons Active Dry Yeast
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/4 cup Olive Oil
- 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- Vegetable Oil (for brushing)
Method
Step One
Begin by combining the following dry ingredients in a large bowl: 2 1/2 cups of gluten-free flour blend, 1 tablespoon of gluten-free baking powder, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of xanthan gum. Mix everything until they blend well.
Step Two
In a separate bowl, pour 1 1/4 cups of warm water, within the range of 110°F to 115°F. Add 2 tablespoons of active dry yeast into the water and allow it to dissolve completely.
Step Three
Crack and beat 2 large eggs in a separate small bowl. Add these beaten eggs to the yeast and water mixture. Include 1/4 cup of olive oil, 1 tablespoon of rice vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Stir all these ingredients until they mix uniformly.
Step Four
Slowly pour the wet ingredients into the large bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until a sticky dough forms. If the dough is too dry, consider adding a bit more warm water until the desired consistency is achieved.
Step Five
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Divide the dough into equal balls and place them on the lined baking sheet. Flatten each dough ball slightly with the palm of your hand.
Step Six
Allow the dough to rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes, or until the dough has nearly doubled in size.
Step Seven
Before baking, gently brush each dough ball with vegetable oil. This will provide a nice golden brown crust to the baps. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the baps sound hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Step Eight
Remove the freshly baked baps from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack. Enjoy your gluten-free baps as soon as they’re cool enough to handle. They’re best eaten fresh, but can also be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
