Gluten-Free Burger Buns bake up soft and airy with a tender crumb that holds together without crumbling. A blend of rice and oat flours with tapioca and cornstarch creates a springy bite, while a scattering of sesame seeds adds gentle nuttiness. Ideal for cookouts, weeknight burgers, or anytime you want buns that are both gluten- and dairy-free.

1

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
2

Dissolve the sugar and yeast in warm water in a bowl. Let it sit until the yeast softens and forms a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
3

In a mixing bowl, combine the rice flour, oat flour, tapioca starch, cornstarch, xanthan gum, and salt; mix to combine. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and oil, then beat with an electric mixer on high speed for 3 minutes.
4

Divide the batter evenly among eighteen 5-inch pie tins. Set them on 2 large cookie sheets. Sprinkle the buns with sesame seeds.
5

Let rise in the preheated warm oven for 30 to 40 minutes.
6

Increase the oven temperature to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) without removing the buns.
7

Bake in the hot oven for 15 minutes. Swap the baking sheets between the oven racks and continue baking until golden, 12 to 15 minutes more.
