What You’ll Need
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 cups gluten-free flour blend
- 2 teaspoons xanthan gum (omit if your blend includes it already)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- Sesame seeds for topping (optional)
Method
Step One
Begin by combining 1 cup of warm water and 1 tablespoon of sugar in a small bowl. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Step Two
Sprinkle 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast over the water and sugar mixture. Let it sit for about 5 minutes, until the yeast is frothy.
Step Three
In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups of gluten-free flour blend, 2 teaspoons xanthan gum (omit if your blend includes it already), 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Step Four
Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, and 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar into the yeast mixture. Stir well to combine.
Step Five
Slowly add the flour mixture into the yeast mixture, stirring well until the dough becomes thick and sticky.
Step Six
Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until the dough has nearly doubled in size.
Step Seven
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Divide the dough into 8 pieces, shape each piece into a bun and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step Eight
If you prefer, sprinkle sesame seeds on top of each bun. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, until the buns are golden brown.
Step Nine
Let the buns cool completely before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade gluten-free hamburger buns!
