Let’s Make it Together
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together gluten-free flour, baking powder, and salt until well combined. The mixture should look like a fluffy cloud.
Add Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine dairy-free milk, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and maple syrup. Stir until mixed well; it should smell sweetly inviting.
Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry mixture. Stir gently using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing; we want airy rolls!
Scoop onto Baking Sheet: Using an ice cream scoop or spoon, drop mounds of dough onto the prepared baking sheet—about two inches apart—for even cooking. For more inspiration, check out this Cooking Tips recipe.
Bake Until Golden: Place in preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown on top and cooked through. Your kitchen will smell heavenly during baking!
Cool and Serve: Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm with dairy-free butter or olive oil; this will elevate your roll experience!
