Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup tapioca flour
• 1/4 cup potato starch
• 1/4 cup powdered milk
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
• 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
• 1/2 cup warm milk
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1/4 cup butter, melted (for brushing)

Directions

1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, tapioca flour, potato starch, powdered milk, sugar, xanthan gum, and salt.
2. Add the chilled butter pieces and use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
3. In a separate bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes until bubbly.
4. Add the yeast mixture, egg, and apple cider vinegar to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
5. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
6. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
7. Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll out each part into a circle on a lightly floured surface.
8. Cut each circle into 8 triangles (like pizza slices). Roll each triangle from the wider end to the point to form a crescent roll.
9. Place the crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with melted butter.
10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
11. Serve warm and enjoy!
