Pillowy Gluten-Free Butter Rolls – No Yeast, No Wait!
These smaller rolls are made with butter, giving them a pillowy, tender texture. With no added yeast, this gluten-free butter roll recipe is a quick bread – no rise time required!

The Secret to Perfect Gluten-Free Rolls: Soft, Buttery, and Yeast-Free
When creating this gluten-free butter roll recipe, my goal was simple: soft rolls, no yeast, and plenty of buttery flavor.
I thought it would be easy, but it took many tries to get it just right!
To keep the rolls soft and moist, I needed more than just butter.
The secret ingredient? Sour cream – it’s what made these rolls truly perfect!
My Favorite Gluten-Free Flour Blend for Butter Rolls
Avoid flour blends that contain bean flour, as they can make the rolls dense and heavy and change the texture.
How to Measure Flour Without a Scale
Proper flour measurement is crucial to achieving the right texture.
Always scoop the flour with a spoon into your measuring cup, then level it off with a knife.
Never dip the measuring cup directly into the flour, as this can pack the flour and result in using too much, which will make the rolls dry.
Tips for Making the Perfect Yeast-Free Dough
Don’t overwork the dough: Overmixing will make the rolls heavy.
Bake immediately: Once your dough is ready, get those rolls into the oven right away to maintain the soft, fluffy texture.
These small details will make all the difference in ensuring your gluten-free butter rolls come out light and tender every time!

Prep Time:
10 min
Cooking Time:
20 min
Serves:
12
Ingredients
2 cups (255 g) all-purpose gluten-free flour blend with xanthan gum (otherwise add 1/2 tsp.)I used better batter
2 tsp. sweetener; pure maple syrup, honey or sugar
1 tsp. GF aluminum-free baking powder
1 tsp. Baking soda
1/2 tsp. Sea salt
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup salted butter, melted (if using unsalted, add 1/4 tsp. sea salt)
1/2 cup milk
1 large egg, whisked
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 F and spray a muffin pan with cooking oil
Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt
Add in sour cream, butter, milk, egg and sweetener and mix briefly until combined. (if you are using granulated sugar mix it with dry ingredients)
Spoon batter evenly into muffin pan. I used a large cookie scoop, it makes it easier to fill the muffin cups
Bake for 18 - 20 minutes, until golden. Store at room temperature.
These are so good!! Tried not to over-mix. They were like a cross between a dinner roll and I muffin.

These were delicious and so easy to make. Luckily, I had everything on hand to make them. They don't even need butter to top them because they are so flavorful.

Kristina

Lorelai
This might be a really silly question, but could I bake this in an 8x8 pan and possibly bake it as a butter cake? haha
Kristina
Lorelai, to answer your question I don’t know since I have not made it into a butter cake. These are rolls, so probably you could make it into a butter bread using a bread pan. If you do try it, please let us know how the recipe turned out.
Cindy
These rolls are awesome!!! I made them for my family for a pitch in dinner and everybody loved them especially my finicky granddaughter. Thank you SO much!!!
Kristina

Karen
These are wonderful! They are easy to make and don’t have the slightly off taste that some other gluten-free rolls can have. I used Bob’s Egg Replacer due to an egg allergy, and it doesn’t seem to have harmed the bake. Thanks for an option that is so much easier than the yeast rolls.

Jacquie
These rolls make me happy! I’ve been trying to find a good yeast free, gf dinner roll recipe for a long time. I came across this one a couple of months ago and have made them 5 or 6 times already. I was out of sour cream so substituted Greek yogurt and they still turned out amazing! Thanks for sharing this recipe!!
Kristina
Jacquie, that's wonderful to hear, thank you for sharing K x
Joanne Bonnayer
I have made these a couple different times. I use butter milk instead of milk. I also instead of melting the butter I use cold butter cut it uo.
P we love it. It looks like a really authentic biscuit. I also add extra protein. Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. I’ve done both. They both come out great.
I’ve also added cheese. I’ve added other spices. It’s a fun recipe to play with. Thank you so much!
Kristina
Joanne, thank you for sharing. You sound like a very creative chef K x
