For the gluten-free honey buns, you'll need a gluten-free flour mix that is made up of a combination of gluten-free flours and starches. The most common flours used are sorghum flour, brown rice flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, and xanthan gum.
Yeast
You'll need active dry yeast for this recipe. The yeast helps the dough rise and gives the honey buns their fluffy texture.
Honey
Honey is the main sweetener used in this recipe. Not only does it add sweetness, but it also helps to bind the dough together.
Butter
Butter adds richness and flavor to the honey buns.
Eggs
Eggs are used as a binding agent in the dough. They also help to give the honey buns a light, fluffy texture.
Salt
Salt is used to add flavor and balance the sweetness of the honey.
Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the gluten-free flour mix, yeast, honey, butter, eggs, and salt. Mix until all the ingredients are combined and a dough forms.
Step 2: Knead the Dough
Using the dough hook attachment, knead the dough for about 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Step 3: Rise the Dough
Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with a damp cloth. Let the dough rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it has doubled in size.
