Gluten-Free Hawaiian Dinner Rolls

Report
Soft, pillowy, and slightly sweet, these gluten-free Hawaiian rolls bring the classic taste and texture of original Hawaiian sweet rolls to a gluten-free version. Made with a blend of gluten-free flours and pineapple juice for a hint of tropical flavor, these rolls are fluffy, tender, and perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 12 g active dried yeast
  • 75 g sugar divided (see notes, fine
  • 100 g milk warm
  • 175 g pineapple juice room temp
  • 15 g psyllium husk or 12.75g if using powdered
  • 220 g tapioca flour
  • 178 g millet flour
  • 35 g sorghum flour
  • 5 g xanthan gum
  • 5 g salt
  • 8 g baking powder
  • 2 egg 1 large egg + 1 egg yolk
  • 40 g butter unsalted

Finishing Wash

  • 1 egg for egg wash
  • 1 tablespoon butter melted, salted
  • 1 teaspoon sugar

Instructions

Activate Yeast

  1. Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, mix warm milk with 1 tablespoon of sugar and the active dried yeast. Stir and let sit for 10 minutes until foamy. Tip: If your yeast mixture does not foam your yeast is likely dead and shoudl be discarded.

Mix ingredients

  1. Make the Psyllium Husk Gel: In a small bowl, mix the psyllium husk with room-temperature pineapple juice. Let it sit for 30-45 seconds until it thickens into a gel.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: Into the bowl of your stand mixer or food processor, whisk together tapioca starch, millet flour, sorghum flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt.
  3. Combine Wet & Dry Ingredients: To the stand mixer (dough hook attachment), slowly add the yeast mixture, psyllium gel, melted butter, egg, and egg yolk. Increase speed to medium and knead for 3 minutes. -Food Processor: Pulse using the dough blade in 30-sec intervals for 3 minutes to prevent overheating the dough. -Hand Mixing: Stir everything together, then knead with oiled or wet hands for 5 minutes.

Shape the Dinner Rolls

  1. Weigh the Dough: The dough will be sticky, so please avoid adding any extra flour! Lightly flour a surface with millet or tapioca flour (1-2 tbsp). Avoid excess flour to prevent dryness. Then, with floured hands, shape the dough into a ball so you can weigh it. Divide the weight by 9 (they should be roughly 93 grams each) and weigh out each dinner roll. Do not over-knead here! You want the fluffy dough to keep its air bubbles.
  2. Shape the Dough: Flatten each piece of your dinner dinner into a square. Then, fold the corners into the center and pinch. Flip the dough over so the pinched part is on the table. Then, cup your hands over the roll and use a circular motion to get a round roll. Repeat for all 9 pieces.

Proof and Bake

  1. Proof the Dough: Grease an 8-inch (20cm) baking tin with unsalted butter or parchment paper. Place the shaped rolls in the baking pan, leaving space for rising. Cover with a towel and let them proof for 60-90 minutes in a warm, draft-free place.Tip: The rolls have finished poofing when they have doubled in size.
  2. Bake the Rolls: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops with an egg wash (whisked egg with 1 tbps water) before baking. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped.
  3. Brush with Sugar Butter: Immediately brush warm rolls with melted butter mixed with sugar.

Notes

  • Fine Sugar: Fine sugar is recommended to ensure it dissolves into the dough. If you can not find fine sugar blend regular granulated sugar for 30 seconds. 
  • 📏 Weigh Your Ingredients for Best Results:  Small measurement variations can affect hydration and rise (a critical issue with gluten-free baking), so for consistent results, always bake by weight!
  • 🔑 Key Tips for Perfect Rolls:
  • Storage & Reheating: These gluten-free Hawaiian rolls are best served hot or warm on the day of baking. However, they can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerated for up to 5 days for longer storage.  I like to reheat my rolls in the microwave for 20-30 seconds per roll.
  •  
  • Proof Until Doubled in Size (Don't rely on time)
  • Dough Will Be Sticky (That’s Normal!)
  • Do NOT Substitute Psyllium Husk
  • Don’t Underbake!
