- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, instant yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix well.
- Pour in the warm water and olive oil. Stir until the dough comes together.
- Transfer the dough onto a well-floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough back into the mixing bowl and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Allow it to rise in a warm place for 30 minutes, or until doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into 8 equal pieces. Shape each piece into a small ball.
- Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between them.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top of each roll, pressing it down gently to adhere.
- Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
