Simple Gluten-free Cheesy Garlic Hoagie Buns
These gluten-free hoagie buns not only have incredible flavor and texture, but they are the EASIEST to make with everything being mixed in a single bowl.
Ingredients
- 3 cups Pamela’s 1:1 gluten-free flour see notes below for other brand flour blends
- 3 tbsp maple syrup or sugar
- 2 tsp instant yeast
- 1 + 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 cup milk warm
- 4 tbsp butter softened + extra for rolling
- 4 eggs divided
- 3/4 cup shredded cheese divided
- 1 tsp garlic powder
Instructions
- Mix dry ingredients together.
- Add maple syrup if not using sugar.
- Mix in 1/2 cup of shredded cheese.
- Mix in milk.
- Mix in butter.
- Mix in 3 eggs, 1 at a time.
- Beat on high for 3 minutes.
- Cover in bowl & let rise for 1 hour.
- Grease or line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or parchment paper.
- With buttered hands, take a handful of dough & roll into a log shape.
- Cover with a towel or greased plastic wrap & let rise 45-60 minutes. Dough should approximately double in size.
- Just before baking, beat 1 egg for egg wash & gently apply to top of buns using a pastry brush.
- Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top of buns.
- Bake at 350°F for approximately 25 minutes or until golden brown.

NOTE: Do not over-shape or buns will be tough. Dough should yield 8-12 buns.
Notes
This recipe calls for Pamela’s 1:1 gluten-free flour specifically because the flour blend contains guar gum as the binder instead of xanthan gum.
Pamela’s 1:1 gluten-free flour blend binds stronger than other blends, that is why it works so great for the following recipes.
If you cannot find Pamela’s brand, here is what I have tested and also works with a blend containing xanthan gum (I specifically did my testing with Bob’s Red Mill 1:1 gluten-free baking flour). You will also need psyllium husk.
