burger buns, dinner roll, gluten free dinner roll, vegan dinner roll, gluten free burger bun, eggless bread

3/4 cups soy flour or millet flour (if you use millet flour, the bun texture will be a little more firm than if you use soy flour.)
3/4 cups potato starch
3/4 cups Tapioca starch
3/4 cups white rice flour
2 tablespoons Brown sugar
1 tablespoon xanathan gum
1 package rapid rise yeast
1 1/4 cup warm water (warm water should be between 110 - 130 degrees. Any cooler and you won't activate the yeast; any hotter and you'll kill the yeast and end up with delicious smelling hockey pucks!)
2 tablespoons flax meal + 6 Tbs hot water
3 tablespoons Olive oil
3/4 teaspoons Salt

1.		Preheat oven to 365 degrees and spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray.
2.		In a stand mixer, mix dry ingredients.
3.		In a separate bowl, mix wet ingredients. Slowly combine into dry ingredients.
4.		Increase speed on mixer to medium and beat batter 3-5 minutes.
5.		Scoop batter using a greased ice cream scoop; drop into evenly spaced buns.
6.		Using greased fingers or a greased cup bottom, press batter slightly so it flattens out a little into more of a "bun" look. Leave as-is if you want it to turn out more like a dinner roll.
7.		bake at 375 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and cool.
8.		I make these in advance and once they are cool, I slice in half and freeze. If using straight from freezer, cook in microwave 20-25 seconds before toasting or making sandwiches. This is a great versatile bread recipe that can be used for sandwiches, sloppy joes, burgers, etc.
