Instructions

1. In bowl of stand mixer, measure gluten free flour, yeast, xanthan gum if needed, sugar (if using honey, add that with the wet ingredients later), baking powder, and salt - add salt away from yeast. You don't need to mix it yet.
2. Add warm water, egg, and 1/2 c butter or oil, and mix with paddle attachment on a medium speed for 3-5 minutes.
3. The dough should be like a thick, sticky batter, a little too soft and sticky to handle as you would regular roll dough.
4. Lightly dust your pie crust bag with  potato starch OR dust your countertop with 2 T of potato starch. You'll need more starch for dusting if using a countertop.
5. Scrape the dough into a ball shape on your dusted area and sprinkle a little more starch over the top of your dough to prevent it from sticking. If using a pie crust bag, remove air and zip it up.
6. Using a rolling pin, roll dough out to about 14" circle. Using a pizza slicer (or very sharp knife) that has been dusted in starch or flour, cut the circle into 8 wedges. Carefully roll each wedge inward to form a crescent. If dough sticks to counter, you have not put enough starch/flour down. No worries, this happened to me too! Use a metal spatula to scrape extra potato starch onto the bottom of the dough as you roll it up. Gently pinch the end to secure the roll so it won't lose shape as it bakes. Use a little water to help if necessary. Gently place a few inches apart on a baking sheet and curve them slightly to form a crescent shape.
7. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Let the rolls rise on top of the oven while it preheats. they only need to rise for 15-20 minutes.
8. Bake for 9-12 minutes. Gluten free breads tend to not brown as much, so don't wait for these to be well browned before pulling them out or they may dry out. Flake with a fork in the center of a roll to see if it's done. Mine were done in about 11 minutes.
9. Brush with melted butter or oil and serve warm for best results. Store leftovers in an airtight container or bread bag at room temp for a day or two, or in the freezer. These can easily be re-warmed by wrapping in foil and placing in a 325 degree oven for about 5 minutes from fridge or 10 minutes from freezer.
