Cheesy Rolls

Ingredients
The dough
- 216g Tapioca flour
- 198g Potato starch
- 168g Rice flour
- 108g Oat flour
- 30g Psyllium husk powder
- 8g Xanthan gum
- 7.5g Fine sea salt
- 300g Water (for psyllium)
- 96g Water (for dough)
- 288g Full-fat coconut milk
- 7g Vanilla
- 9g Instant yeast
To finish
- Shredded vegan cheese
- Garlic (granules or finely grated) + dried herbs, to sprinkle
Instructions
- Gel the psyllium. Whisk the psyllium powder into the 300g water and leave it for a couple of minutes until it sets to a thick gel.
- In a large bowl, stir together the tapioca, potato starch, rice flour, oat flour, xanthan gum, salt, and yeast.
- Add together the coconut milk, the 96g dough water, and the vanilla.
- Add the psyllium gel and mix until a smooth, soft dough forms. Knead for a few minutes until springy and it holds a ball.
- Roll & prove. Divide into 12 even pieces and roll into smooth balls. Sit them on a lined tray, cover, and prove until puffy — about an hour.
- Press your thumb into the top of each one to make a little well.
- Tuck a pinch of shredded vegan cheese into each dimple.
- Sprinkle over garlic and herbs.

- Bake at 350°F for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Cool a few minutes before diving in.
Tip: Want them to stay soft longer? Brush the tops with a very small amount of oil — just enough to keep them tender the next day. They’re best warm, while the cheese is still gooey and stretchy.
