If you’ve been anxiously awaiting updates to The Bountiful Bread Basket series—the series that features the best gluten-free bread recipes on the web—here is one for you! This post is focused on the best gluten-free biscuit recipes and best gluten-free roll recipes. We’re talking “basic” biscuits and rolls here but amazing ones like gluten-free Pillsbury Grands Style Butterflake Knockoff Biscuits, Homemade Texas Roadhouse Rolls, Favorite Potato Rolls, and more. Another upcoming post will focus on flavored rolls and biscuits (garlic, cheese, lemon, etc.). Obviously, I found many great recipes in the latter category and I keep finding phenomenal gluten-free “basic” biscuits and rolls because I keep updating this post!

Gluten-Free Roll Recipes and Gluten-Free Biscuit Recipes Collage. [from GlutenFreeEasily.com]

I believe there are more roll and biscuit recipes than loaf bread recipes (featured in Part 1 and in Part 3 of this series), or tortilla and wrap recipes (featured in Part 4 of this series), because most of us can get our “bread fix” with rolls and biscuits. They’re usually easier and faster to get on the table than loaf bread. That’s important to all of us when preparing a meal, especially after long school or work days. And, for some of us, biscuits and rolls are even more appealing than loaves of bread. After all, I call my popovers “better than sliced bread,” and I firmly believe that. Looking at all the other delicious contributions here, I suspect they merit that same praise! And tortillas and wraps and wonderful, but they don’t provide that same bread experience (most of the time anyway). Amazing biscuits and rolls are definitely what we want to serve during the holidays, too.

For this roundup, I have not only identified how “free” each of these recipes is, but I have also separated them into two groups—gluten-free recipes that contain grains and gluten-free recipes that are also grain free. Hopefully, categorizing them this way will allow you all to immediately find the recipes they need. Update:  And, by the way, if you’re really looking for gluten-free Hamburger, Hot Dog, and Sandwich Roll recipes, you’ll want to check out this roundup post.

She adds that “you can have them made in 35 minutes, and you don’t even have to remember to preheat the oven.  They have become a favorite.”

These Bread Balls are a variation of classic tapioca rolls, but made with dairy-free milk (unless you prefer dairy milk) and without cheese. Nutritional yeast adds the cheesy vibe to these rolls. Linda says they “add a nice touch to a meal, especially when you need a little something extra like bread to go with soup.” As I mentioned previously, Linda is the author of the “get started living gluten free” (or “brush up on one’s gluten-free knowledge”) ebook, How To Be Gluten Free.

I think you have us ALL covered for our Holiday meals in the bread department. I’ve made Cassidy’s grain free rolls many times and love them. They taste like actual buttermilk biscuits. And I’ve used Bob’s almond flour and they turned out great. Thanks for this awesome showcase.

    • Thanks so much, Amber! 🙂 The roundup posts always demonstrate just how much talent there is in our blogging community, don’t you think? Thanks for adding the feedback on Cassidy’s rolls, too. Those were actually the last recipe I added because I’d missed them on my first pass and after she mentioned them to me, I had to check them out and add them. It was clear from the photo alone that they were worthy of the Top 40! 😉

  19. Here’s seconding everyone’s thanks for this roundup! I think one thing that’s so great about it is that biscuits and rolls are among those foods that can be made well in all different ways, but that most of us have a favorite kind of. (Like brownies.) Seeing them all together this way is helpful for people hoping to achieve the look and texture that they remember from their old favorite biscuits at their family dinner table. Of course, for taste, the only real way to be sure is to make them all and compare…that doesn’t sound too bad.

    Reply

    • Hi Molly–You are welcome! I always appreciate your lovely feedback! 🙂 And that’s very true on us all having our favorites and it’s fun to find ones that are great fits for each of us. Taste testing is not a bad thing at all. 😉

      I’m looking forward to sharing the rest of the series with you all!

  25. Love this list! Thank you so much! I wanted to let you know it seems a few of the links are broken and one led to a very disturbing website (obviously not intentional). Wanted to let you know so maybe other people won’t have to be surprised/disturbed. Thanks so much for all the work that went into this list! I have lots of new recipes to try!

    • Hi Michelle–I’m glad this listing is going to be helpful to you! 🙂 I actually checked out all the links after I read your comment and other than a few being down because one friend transitioning to a new site, I found no other broken links or links to disturbing websites. I’d be grateful if you would email me the specific links (with screen shots) that you had issues with to glutenfreeeasily @ gmail.com. Happy bread baking!

  27. What a delicious round-up, Shirley! It was tied for our most popular link from Savoring Saturdays. We’ll be featuring it this weekend. Thanks so much for sharing! 🙂

  28. Shirley,
    This is a wonderful collection of recipes. I especially am drawn to the Parker house rolls and pull apart bread. They both look so soft and delicious! Your blog truly provides some wonderful resources for just about anything you might want to make that is gluten free. Thanks for all your roundups!

    • Hi Judee–You are welcome, of course, and thank you so much for your kind words! I agree with you on both the Parkerhouse and Pull-Apart Rolls. Such wonderful roll options!

  29. I was craving bread all day in the worst way, this email confirms I need to make bread 🙂

    The link for Parkerhouse Rolls from Better Batter ~ gluten free, vegetarian- the link “better batter” takes you to Amazon to purchase Better Batter flour not a recipe. Was that intentional?

    • Jackwelyn–Oh, yes, it’s definitely time to make bread! 😉 Thank you so very much for the heads up on the link issue! I had left out the link with the Parkerhouse Rolls text. I’ve added that now. I do want the links tied to the Better Batter text itself to link to Amazon so folks will know where they can buy Naomi’s great flour mix, so if you click on “Better Batter,” you’ll go to Amazon. But if you click on “Parkerhouse Rolls,” you’ll be taken to the actual recipe on the Better Batter website. Thanks again!

  30. Thanks for the comprehensive collection of gluten free and paleo roll and biscuit recipes. I’ve been working on the perfect paleo dinner roll for a while now and have yet to come up with something I’m really happy with–though the Pan de Yuca are excellent. Surely with so many wonderful ideas I can find something for us!

    • Hi Nancy–You’re welcome and thanks so much for the kind words! I’ve only had Brazilian Cheese Rolls, not the Pan de Yuca. Similar but not the same, of course. I’m sure I’d love them though. I look forward to seeing what you end up creating!
