- Cover the bowl. And let the dough rise. In a warm spot. For about 60 minutes. If your oven. Has a proofing setting. It works perfectly for this. Or simply set your stovetop. To the lowest heat setting.

Notes
To make these Soft Garlic Butter Rolls gluten-free. Swap the all-purpose flour. With a gluten-free baking blend. That includes xanthan gum for structure. Since gluten-free dough can be stickier. You may need to adjust the water or flour ratio slightly. To get the right consistency—aim for a dough. That’s soft but not too wet. Letting the dough rise fully. Is especially important. With gluten-free flour. To ensure a good texture. These rolls can still be soft, and fluffy. And full of garlicky goodness. Even without gluten!
