\n1 cup oat flour (or any GF or all purpose)
\n<\/span>1\/4 tsp salt<\/span>

\n<\/em><\/span><\/span><\/span>1 tsp Guar or xanthan gum or ground flaxseed.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Liquid ingredients:

or Make Your Own<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the batter rise about 20 – 35 minutes,\u00a0 or until<\/span>
\nlooking puffy, but not doubled.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you aren’t in a hurry,<\/strong> always make these
\nwith instant yeast (instead of baking powder).
\nI love the aroma and light texture it creates.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bake in the oven at for about 25 minutes at
\n350-F <\/span>until done.

*For Hamotzi, one of the 5 biblical grains must
\nbe used. But the only grain that is gluten free is
\noat flour:<\/strong>
\nIf not for the Hamotzi blessing, these rolls above
\ncan also be made from most GF flour blends, or up
\nto 3\/4 cup oat or almond flour plus 1\/4 cup tapioca
\nstarch, and baking powder without yeast for leavening.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I have made hot dog bun shapes using a<\/strong>
\nmicrowave corn-on-the-cob maker as a mold!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To get any shape you’d like,<\/strong><\/span>
\nYou can bake this batter in any microwave-safe<\/span>
\nmugs, ramekins, or bowls or silicone molds.<\/span>
\nNever fill more than 3\/4 full.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Use yeast or baking powder for leavening!<\/span><\/strong>
\nYou won’t believe how light, fluffy, and sweet an<\/span>
\ninstant bun can be… And these taste just Yum!!
\nFor appearance, brown them in the toaster oven.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nThe same Gluten free batter recipe<\/strong> can be made
\nas Glazed Cinnamon-Raisin Tea-Buns…just by
\nchanging the mold,<\/span><\/p>\n

This gluten free roll batter made in a silicone

Here The Challah batter was used with cinnamon
\nand <\/strong>raisins<\/strong> added in a bun mold for a cinnamon raisin<\/span>
\nbun.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For Quick Sandwich or Burger Buns
\n<\/span><\/strong>No Yeast and rising time necessary. I put this batter in
\nwell-greased <\/span>5″ microwave\/oven-safe bowls as a mold.<\/span><\/p>\n

QUICK, SIMPLE INGREDIENTS: Make in any

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NOTES:<\/i><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Amazing!\u00a0 You can use instant yeast or
\nbaking powder. It’s magic!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From this same batter, you can also make muffins,
\ninstant sandwich or burger buns, dinner rolls,
\nsweet tea buns, savory seasoned herb buns!
\nIt’s failproof even if you don’t measure or time
\nthem precisely perfect. The texture is
\nlight and fluffy.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I prefer to brown them in the toaster oven.
\nUsing a bowl or mug for a mold, these also make
\ngreat GF <\/span><\/strong>Crumpets when slit in half and toasted.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\nUsing an oven-proof bowl as a mold,<\/strong>
\nyou’ll also get dome shaped burger or sandwich buns.
\n<\/span>
\nDon’t exceed 3\/4″ <\/span>depth of batt<\/span>er, and slit cooled rolls
\nhorizontally for the <\/span>burger\/san<\/span>dwich buns in this picture.<\/span><\/h5>\n

\u00a0I get this yummy <\/span>bread in a minute!<\/span><\/strong>
\n<\/span>Even when I let it rise a little too long or not long
\nenough, or under-baked,<\/span> it has never failed.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

You can toast under-baked, to further brown<\/span>
\nfinished rolls in the oven on broil, or in a toaster<\/span>
\noven.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This instant batter can make<\/strong> a fancy, yummy, Challah for<\/span>
\nShabbat, using a braided challah mold either made of tin<\/span>
\nor silicone. (Both molds Available on Amazon). <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Cool for a few minutes, then enjoy, or place wrapped
\nand cooled challah into freezer container to freeze
\nuntil needed. Best served warm.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

*If you are using yeast for leavening rolls,<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

You need to put the batter in greased molds.
\nJust fill the mold up to 1\/4 inch from the top.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nLet it rise 25 to 35<\/strong> minutes in a warm place free<\/span>
\nof drafts. (I preheat the oven for 60 seconds at 350\u00ba-F<\/span>
\nand shut it).<\/span><\/p>\n

Then I leave the oven <\/span>light on to maintain warmth
\nfor the batter to rise.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fill only 1\/2 (or less) of the mold or ramekin.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cover batter with greased parchment paper.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nWhen risen and puffy looking, Bake at 350\u00ba-F until firm
\nin appearance. Test for doneness with a toothpick.
\n<\/span>Batter will be quite thick. <\/span>You can divide the batter
\nto use different <\/span>add-ins or molds.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nTo Oven Bake:
\n<\/strong>Bake at 350\u00ba-F about 20-30 minutes until browned.<\/span><\/p>\n

If not for the Hamotzi blessing ,<\/strong> these rolls above
\ncan also be made from most GF <\/span>flour blends, or up
\nto 3\/4 cup oat or almond flour plus <\/span>1\/4 cup
\ntapioca starch, and baking powder without yeast for leavening.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

About the Hamotzi Challah:\u00a0<\/strong> (For Hamotzi blessing
\nchallah ingredients is required to be more than 50%
\nof one of the biblical “5 grains.”)<\/span><\/h6>\n

To be Gluten-Free Challah<\/strong> oat flour is required<\/strong>.
\n(The 4 other grains are not gluten-free).<\/span><\/p>\n

If you cannot find Oat Flour, simply Make Your Own<\/span><\/span>
\nGrinding your oats is exceptionally economical.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was able to let the batter rise, covered with plastic
\nwrap or parchment, in a pre-warmed oven for 30
\nminutes until they were puffy looking but not double
\nin size and not covered with air holes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n


\nWhen I decided this is my go-to quick challah & roll
\nrecipe, I bought braided challah molds on Amazon.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nI could see it took more batter than a mug’s worth to bake<\/span>
\nusing these big challah molds instead of ramekins, <\/span>So I baked them in the oven at 350\u00b0F until they looked done and\u00a0<\/span>the toothpick came out clean.<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span>Had I brushed them with egg and water when almost
\ndone, and put them back in the oven for 10 minutes,
\nthey’d have\u00a0<\/span><\/span>had a glossy brown crust.<\/span><\/p>\n

Instead of baking in the <\/strong><\/span>microwave,<\/strong>\u00a0which doesn’t brown
\nthem, I made all 4 at one time, in the oven for 25 minutes
\nat 350\u00baF.
\nI did not preheat the oven\u00a0so they would continue
\nto rise gradually while the oven heated and not need much
\noutside rising time.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Serve for breakfast<\/strong> warm with butter, cream cheese, or fruit spread.<\/span><\/p>\n

Glaze or frost or sugar the tops<\/strong>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Or mix in dried fruit or chocolate chips and serve with
\nafternoon tea.<\/span><\/p>\n

For dinner rolls,<\/strong> add your favorite seasoning and a<\/span>
\ntbs. less sugar.<\/span><\/p>\n


\nBecause all items in microwaves absorb power,\u00a0 it is
\npreferable to use only the size mold you need.<\/span><\/p>\n

cut off one silicone mold from a sheet of 6.<\/span>
\nI placed the greased and filled mold, batter-side-up, on<\/span>
\na microwave-safe plate.<\/span>
\nBaking it took 1 minute on full power in my microwave.<\/span>
\n
\nAnd here’s how they turned out,<\/strong>\u00a0using baking
\npowder for leavening.<\/span><\/p>\n
