After being gluten-free for 4 years and really missing out on eating burgers with buns, I experimented with a handful of bread recipes to come up with a good gluten-free, milk-free bun that the whole family enjoys.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 5 eggs
• ¾ cup cornstarch
• 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
• 2 cups warm water
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (Optional)
• ½ cup canola oil
• 1 tablespoon xanthan gum
• ¾ cup tapioca starch
• 1 ½ cups rice flour
• 1 ½ cups gluten-free oat flour

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).

Step 2

Dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water in a bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Combine rice flour, oat flour, tapioca starch, cornstarch, xanthan gum, and salt in a mixing bowl; mix to combine. Add yeast mixture, eggs, and oil; mix using an electric mixer on high speed for 3 minutes.

Step 4

Distribute batter evenly between between eighteen 5-inch pie tins. Place onto 2 large cookie sheets. Sprinkle buns with sesame seeds.

Step 5

Allow to rise in the preheated warm oven, 30 to 40 minutes.

Step 6

Set the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) without removing the buns.

Step 7

Bake in the hot oven for 15 minutes. Switch baking sheets on oven racks and continue to bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes more.
