Method

1
Line a baking tray with baking paper. Mix the flour, xanthan gum, yeast, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
2
Add the butter, egg and warm milk. Beat well for 2 minutes into a soft, sticky dough that holds its shape on the spoon.
3
With wet hands, divide the dough into 8 and roll each piece into a ball. Space them 3 cm apart on the tray and flatten slightly.
4
Cover loosely and leave somewhere warm for 40 minutes, until the rolls have puffed up and are nearly touching.
