These easy gluten-free crescent rolls taste just like homemade! Soft, buttery, and fluffy, this recipe yields 7 perfect crescent rolls that are simple to make and perfect for any meal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour, psyllium husk powder, yeast, baking powder, sugar, and salt.
Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, work the cold cubed butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten egg and lukewarm milk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Cover the dough and let it rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to chill.
On a surface lightly dusted with gluten-free flour, roll out the dough into a circle. Cut the circle into 7 equal triangles.
Roll each triangle from the wide end towards the point to form a crescent shape. Place the rolls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Let the rolls rise in a warm place for 1 hour until puffed.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the rolls with melted butter and bake for 12 to 15 minutes until golden brown.
Notes
Ensure your gluten-free flour blend contains xanthan gum for the best texture. If it doesn't, add 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum to the dry ingredients.
