Gluten-Free Crescent Rolls

Recipe View 3 mins Warm the milk in a microwave-safe bowl for about 30 seconds. Stir in 1/4 cup softened butter, 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons honey, and salt until well combined. Allow to cool until lukewarm (3-5 minutes).

Recipe View 5 mins In a small bowl, combine warm water and active dry yeast. Let stand until the yeast dissolves and becomes creamy (approximately 5 minutes).

Recipe View 5 mins In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the milk mixture and the yeast mixture. Add half of the beaten egg. Gradually add the gluten-free flour, about 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough begins to pull together. Switch to the dough hook attachment and knead lightly until the dough is wet and sticky but forms a cohesive ball (around 5 minutes).

Recipe View 1 hrs Grease a large bowl with 1 teaspoon of softened butter. Using greased or wet hands, transfer the dough into the bowl, turning to coat it evenly with butter. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in volume (approximately 1 hour).

Recipe View 10 mins Dust a work surface generously with potato starch. Deflate the risen dough and turn it out onto the prepared surface. Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces and shape each piece into a round. Place a piece of parchment paper over one round and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/8-inch thick. Cut the rectangle into 4 wedges. Brush each wedge lightly with softened butter. Repeat this process with the remaining dough rounds.

Recipe View 5 mins Roll each wedge up tightly from the base towards the point. Brush a small amount of the remaining beaten egg along the seam to seal. Gently bend each roll into a classic crescent shape.

Recipe View 5 mins Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Arrange the crescent rolls, seam-side down, onto the prepared baking sheets. Brush the tops generously with the remaining beaten egg.

Recipe View 0 mins Place the baking sheets with the crescents into a cold oven. Then, preheat the oven to 365 degrees F (185 degrees C).

Recipe View 25 mins Bake in the preheated oven until the crescent rolls are beautifully golden brown (approximately 25 minutes).
