Follow these clear steps to create The Softest Gluten-Free Dinner Rolls effortlessly:

1. Prepare Yeast Mixture: In a small bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until frothy.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, salt, and xanthan gum (if using).
3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the melted butter and eggs to the yeast mixture, stirring until well blended.
4. Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
5. Knead the Dough: Lightly knead the dough in the bowl for about 1–2 minutes or until it comes together smoothly.
6. First Rise: Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
7. Shape the Rolls: Once risen, gently punch the dough down. Divide it into 12 equal pieces and shape each piece into a ball.
8. Second Rise: Place the shaped rolls on a lined baking sheet, leaving space between each. Cover again and let them rise for 30 minutes.
9. Preheat Oven: While the rolls are rising, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
10. Bake: Once risen, bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
11. Brush with Butter: If desired, brush the tops with melted butter as soon as they come out of the oven.
12. Cool Slightly: Allow the rolls to cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving.

Enjoy the delightful aroma wafting throughout your kitchen as these rolls bake to perfection!
