WHAT ARE GLUTEN FREE HAMBURGER BUNS MADE OF?

• high quality gluten free flour (I highly recommend using gf Jules for this recipe)
• parmesan cheese (sub almond flour or omit if you’re dairy free)
• sugar
• onion salt
• yeast
• egg
• neutral tasting oil such as avocado or canola
• water

WHICH GLUTEN FREE FLOUR WORKS WELL FOR BUNS?

The best gluten free flour to use for hamburger and hot dog buns is gfJules. This flour blend consistently made the fluffiest and softest buns when I tested this recipe.

You can find gf Jules on Amazon or via their website.

Not all gluten free flours are created equal. We have many favorites (see our list here) and those favorites depend on what we’re baking!

We know a lot of you are searching for one inexpensive flour blend that will work perfectly with every recipe, but we have yet to find that special blend 😉

To me and my family, it is worth it to keep a few gluten free flour blends in the pantry so that our baked goods taste the very best they can.

HOW TO MAKE GLUTEN FREE HAMBURGER BUNS

Making gluten free hamburger buns is so easy! Add dry ingredients to a bowl, then add wet ingredients and mix.

Then you’ll coat your working surface and hands in oil or water (keep extra on hand in case you need it) and divide the dough into 6 equal portions.

Shape each dough portion into a ball and then press lightly to flatten into a disc that is 1/2-3/4″ tall and place in your hamburger pan or on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Cover it loosely with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 30-60 minutes until double in size, then bake!

You do not need to knead the dough and it only needs one rise.

I included the photos above to show the step-by-step process you’ll follow to make gluten free hamburger buns. Notice the texture of the dough, it should be too sticky to work with your hands which is why you’ll use water or oil to coat your work surface when shaping.

I recently invested in a hamburger bun pan which has worked so well! I love that it gives the buns a perfect rise and makes them exactly the right shape and size.

If you don’t want to get a pan, feel free to just shape them and bake on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
