Ingredients

Egg Wash:

  • 1 egg white
  • 1 tsp water

Instructions

  • Combine the coconut milk, pineapple juice and honey in a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup and heat for 30-second increments, stirring well in between, until the mixture reaches 110 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Stir the yeast into this wet mixture and allow it to sit for 10 minutes to bloom.
  • Transfer the wet mixture to a stand mixer and beat in the eggs using the paddle attachment.
  • Add the flour and salt and mix on medium speed for 2 to 3 minutes, or until a thick dough forms. The dough will be somewhat sticky but if it is overly sticky, add more flour.
  • Cover the dough with plastic or a kitchen towel and allow the dough to rest in a warm place for 1 hour, or until the dough doubles in size.
  • Divide the dough into 15 sections and form balls out of the dough. Transfer the balls of dough to a greased (or sprayed) casserole dish (I use a medium-sized casserole dish, not a 13” x 9”). Allow the dough to rest another 30 minutes, or until the balls have doubled in size.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • In a bowl, whisk together 1 egg white with 1 teaspoon of water. Use a silicone brush to lightly coat the dough balls with egg wash.
  • Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 23 to 30 minutes, or until the rolls are golden-brown.
  • Remove rolls from the oven and serve warm with butter (or vegan butter spread to keep it dairy-free) and honey.

Notes

*If you do dairy, replace the coconut milk with ½ cup of buttermilk and 4 tablespoons of butter.
If your gluten-free flour blend doesn’t contain leavening agents in it, add 2 teaspoons of baking powder.
