Gluten free bread rolls
Gluten free bread rolls made with buckwheat flour, rice flour and psyllium husk. The Thermomix TM7 kneads the sticky dough to the ideal consistency without any manual effort. Apple cider vinegar and honey help create soft, flavourful rolls with a lovely crust. Perfect for anyone avoiding gluten who still wants fresh homemade bread.
About this recipe
Gluten free bread rolls are one of the most searched recipes for the Thermomix TM7, and for good reason: wheat-free dough is sticky, hard to shape and unforgiving when kneaded by hand. This recipe solves that with psyllium husk, which forms a gel with warm water and mimics the elasticity gluten normally provides. Buckwheat flour brings a gentle nuttiness, rice flour and potato starch keep the crumb light, while honey feeds the instant yeast and apple cider vinegar improves both flavour and structure. The all-in-one kitchen machine weighs each flour directly into the mixing bowl, heats the water to activate the yeast and kneads the dough to a smooth, workable consistency without a floury worktop in sight. These rolls belong at Sunday breakfast, in a lunchbox or next to a bowl of soup on a chilly evening. Whether you bake gluten free out of necessity or curiosity, this quick homemade bread recipe delivers bakery-style results from your own TM7.
Preparation tips
- Let the psyllium husk and warm water rest until a thick gel forms before adding the flours; this gel is what replaces gluten and gives the rolls their bounce, so never skip this resting step.
- Wet your hands or lightly oil them when shaping the dough, as psyllium-based dough is far too sticky to handle with flour alone; a oiled scraper also helps divide it into even portions.
- Brush the shaped rolls with oil and score the tops before baking for a crispier crust; leftover rolls freeze beautifully and can be revived with a few minutes in a warm oven.
- For extra flavour, stir sesame seeds or sunflower seeds into the dough after kneading, or brush the rolls with honey for a slightly sweet, kid-friendly finish.
Recipe variations
- Seedy version: knead a mix of sesame, linseed and sunflower seeds into the buckwheat dough and press extra seeds on top before baking for extra crunch and a nuttier flavour.
- Festive herby rolls: add dried rosemary and a little garlic powder to the dough, then serve warm with olive oil for dipping at a Christmas or dinner-party table.
