You might be thinking, ok small size… is it really worth it? Worth the trouble of making rolls only to have them devoured in no time. I think I can go out on a limb and offer a definite yes. Even though this recipe makes a small batch, they are sooo good and the perfect compliment to any meal.

Plus they’re super easy to make.

The prep time is about 10 minutes. Including measuring the flour out. Like a lot of gluten free bread recipes, the most time consuming part is often prepping the ingredients. I think getting the prep time of these rolls down to about 7 minutes is completely do-able, but you know, distractions happen.

The rolls are along the same lines as these gluten free French bread rolls, with some notable differences. Besides things like no yeast, no xanthan gum and a short ingredients list, the texture and consistency is similar.

Now that you’re getting excited to make these rolls, here are some ways to ensure yours turn out like little bites of heaven.

Refrigerate the dough

Can you get away with not refrigerating it? Sure – but it sure does make it easier to cut with when it’s chilled. The dough will be in a disk and if it’s chilled, it will cut much easier than if it’s warm.

Shape the dough

When you shape the dough into a disk, you’re aiming for a thick chunk of round dough. This will make it easy to cut it into 8 equal pieces.

Doubling might be impossible

Doubling will depend on the size of your food processor. Mine is a 4 cup model, so doubling a recipe like this is not possible. But if you have a mighty 11 cup one, then you are set. Feel free to double it.

Are you ready for the most delicious bite size rolls you’ve ever had? Here they are!
