🥘Ingredients

For the Dough

2 cups gluten free all purpose flour blend
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 cup warm milk (dairy or non dairy)
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons melted butter or oil
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

For the Topping

1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water for wash
Sesame seeds or poppy seeds optional

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, instant yeast, salt, sugar, and xanthan gum.
2In a separate small bowl, whisk together the warm milk, eggs, melted butter, and apple cider vinegar.
3Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix with a paddle attachment on low speed until a soft sticky dough forms, about 2 minutes.
4Scrape down the sides of the bowl and cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a clean towel. Let the dough rest for 10 minutes.
5Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using lightly oiled hands, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and shape each into a round ball. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 3 inches apart.
6Flatten each ball slightly into a disc shape about 3/4 inch thick. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30 to 40 minutes until puffy.
7Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a small bowl, beat the egg with water to make an egg wash. Gently brush the tops of the buns with the egg wash and sprinkle with seeds if using.
8Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 200 degrees F. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Gluten Free Hamburger Buns

1. Can I use a different gluten free flour blend?

Yes you can use any good quality gluten free all purpose flour blend. Just make sure it contains xanthan gum or add 1 teaspoon separately. Different blends may absorb liquid differently so you might need to adjust the milk slightly.

2. How do I store these hamburger buns?

Store the buns in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature and reheat in a toaster or oven.

3. Can I make these buns dairy free?

Absolutely. Use a dairy free milk like almond or oat milk and replace the butter with coconut oil or a dairy free butter substitute. The buns will still be soft and delicious.

4. Why are my buns dense or flat?

This can happen if the dough did not rise enough or if the gluten free flour blend is too heavy. Make sure your yeast is fresh and let the buns rise in a warm draft free spot. Also do not skip the xanthan gum as it helps with structure.

5. Can I add herbs or spices to the dough?

Yes you can add up to 1 teaspoon of dried herbs like garlic powder, onion powder, or Italian seasoning to the dry ingredients. This gives the buns extra flavor and works great for savory burgers.
