Crescent Rolls

Ingredients

• 2 1/2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Blend
• 1 tsp Xanthan Gum
• 2 1/4 tsp Instant Yeast
• 2 tbsp Granulated Sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Warm Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
• 1/4 cup Melted Butter
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 cup Cold Butter (unsalted) (cut into thin slices)
• 1 large Egg Wash (beaten)
• 1 tbsp Everything Bagel Seasoning

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large bowl, whisk together the gluten-free flour blend, xanthan gum, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl, combine the warm milk, melted butter, egg, and apple cider vinegar. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a shaggy dough forms.

3. 3

   Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently form into a rectangle and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

4. 4

   On a lightly floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a large rectangle (about 12x18 inches). Arrange the cold butter slices evenly over 2/3 of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border.

5. 5

   Fold the unbuttered third of the dough over the buttered middle third. Then, fold the remaining buttered third over the top. This creates a 'book fold'. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

6. 6

   Repeat the rolling and folding process two more times, refrigerating for 30 minutes between each fold. This creates the layers for the crescent rolls.

7. 7

   After the final refrigeration, roll the dough into a large circle (about 12 inches in diameter). Use a pizza cutter to cut the circle into 12 equal triangles.

8. 8

   Gently stretch each triangle and roll it up from the wide end to the point, forming a crescent shape. Place the crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

9. 9

   Brush the crescent rolls with egg wash and sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, if desired. Let rise for 15-20 minutes.

10. 10

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
