Ingredients
Make the Dough:
- 1 package of Hand + Heart Gluten Free Sweet Dough Mix
- 1 1/4 cups warm milk (110ºF)
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs, room temperature
- yeast packets (included with mix)
Filling:
- 1 6 ounce package pepperoni
- 10 ounces Oaxaca cheese or mozzarella cheese
Eggwash:
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- or just melted butter
DAIRY FREE OPTION: Use dairy free milk, butter & cheese.
EGG FREE OPTION:
Mix 1/2 cup ground flaxseed with 1/2 cup warm water OR
Mix 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder with 1/2 cup water
Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes before adding to the dough mix.
Instructions
Make the Sweet Dough:
- In a bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, add entire packet of H+H Gluten Free Sweet Dough mix and yeast packets. Whisk to combine.
- Add warmed milk, melted butter and eggs in the bowl and mix with a spatula until the dry and wet ingredients are well incorporated.
- Beat on medium speed for 5 minutes, stopping mid way to scrape sides and bottom of the bowl. Dough will be sticky but smooth.
- Transfer dough into a lightly oiled medium bowl and cover with a plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight so dough stiffens so it will be easier to handle.
Shape the rolls:
- Preheat oven to 350ºF. Line 2 baking sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside.
- On lightly floured surface or silicone rolling mat, roll dough into a log.
- Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces. Roll out each of the dough about 6 inch disc. Add a layer of pepperoni slices and shredded cheese on the center of the dough.
- Close the dough by pinching the edges together. Form into a ball and smooth on a floured surface.
- Place each of the buns seam side down into the prepared baking sheet pans about 2 inches apart.
- Let rest in a warm area for 45 minutes.
Bake the rolls:
- Before baking, brush top of rolls with egg wash or melted butter.
- BAKE for 20 – 25 minutes until it is golden brown. Brush more melted butter on top and let cool before serving.
