Vegan Gluten free Dinner Rolls with Garlic and Basil
Description
The dough for these dinner rolls is made using a variety of gluten-free flours including oat, white rice, almond, tapioca starch, and potato starch combined with salt, baking powder, and oregano. Yeast is activated in warm water with sugar, then mixed with flaxseed meal, yogurt substitute or applesauce, and olive oil. This wet mixture is combined with the dry ingredients to form a sticky, stiff dough.
After resting, the dough is shaped into small balls placed in a pan, sprayed with water and olive oil, and topped with minced garlic and basil. The covered pan is left to let the dough rise before baking at moderate heat, ensuring soft, herbed rolls with good structure despite being gluten and animal product free.
The rolls can be made ahead by refrigerating dough for up to two days before shaping and baking. They also can be steamed as an alternative cooking method. Adding xanthan gum can improve rise and texture. These rolls offer a homemade vegan, gluten-free option with aromatic garlic and basil flavor.
