50+ Best Gluten-Free Biscuit and Roll Recipes

With the holidays almost here, it’s time to update this post in my Bountiful Bread Basket series—the series that shares the best gluten-free bread recipes on the web—so you all will have the best gluten-free biscuit recipes and best gluten-free roll recipes for celebrating with your families.

I hope you will be as pleased with these recipes as I am. Honestly, any of these biscuits or rolls would be perfect for your holiday table or any time that you wish to simply celebrate our everyday love of truly wonderful gluten-free bread! 

While we’re talking about “basic” biscuits and rolls here, we’re also talking about specialty recipes like gluten-free Parker House rolls, Pull-Apart Rolls, Pillsbury Grands Style Butterflake Knockoff Biscuits, homemade Texas Roadhouse Rolls, classic Cloverleaf Rolls, Hawaiian Rolls, and more.

I’ve labeled recipes to also show if they’re dairy free, egg free, vegetarian, vegan, etc. You can quickly see which ingredients you don’t need for each recipe—such as eggs, dairy, and/or yeast—which is important for those of us with additional food restrictions but also helpful when preparing your shopping list.

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. 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.

They hold together really well. But even better, this recipe is SO versatile! It makes a great ‘ hot pocket’!” and “I split this recipe between breadsticks and dinner rolls and both came out great! I do not have a paddle attachment so I mixed this mostly by hand and it was not a problem at all. I did need to cook them a little longer in my oven so that they would brown, but they did not dry out or get hard.”

~ Dinner Rolls Three Ways—Plain, Garlic and Rosemary, and Onion from Allergy-Free Alaska ~ gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, vegetarian

Megan said she been searching for “warm rolls… fluffy rolls… the kind of rolls that are a little bit of soft heaven when you take a bite” ever since she went gluten free. Finally, her “searching and recipe testing was complete” when she created this recipe. She summarized these biscuits with one word, “Perfection.”

Reader reviews: “Thanks for the awesome recipe. It worked perfectly for me!” and “these are so yummy! I can’t tell you how happy I am to have a roll I can eat….I had a french dip last night I haven’t had that tasted good in 3 years!

~ Favorite Potato Rolls from Better Batter ~ gluten free, egg free, vegetarian, with dairy-free option

~ Gluten-Free Vegan Pull-Apart Rolls from Sarah Bakes Gluten Free ~ gluten free, dairy free, egg free, vegetarian, vegan

Reader reviews: “This was amazing! I was surprised how well it turned out. I was a little skeptical about it with the batter consistency. It was difficult to get it into blobs for the rolls. Mine weren’t quite as pretty as yours, but I couldn’t believe how much like real bread they were. My family loved them. It was like Christmas!” and “This was soooo good!! For some reason, the batter was a bit runny for me—not stiff enough to hold as rolls. So I made it into a loaf and it was really amazing. My family, who usually don’t love gf items, ate almost all of it!”

~ Hawaiian Rolls from Let Them Eat Gluten-Free Cake ~ gluten free, vegetarian, with dairy-free options

Reader reviews: “WOW! I LOVED these rolls! They are fairly similar in procedure to my mother-in-law’s amazing regular white flour dinner rolls. These were CRAZY easy to make!” and “My daughter who has celiac absolutely loves these rolls!!!!!!! I made them for Thanksgiving and they turned out great. I love them too!!!! Thank you!! These are delicious light and fluffy just like you said and we used just a hand mixer. We have made them a few times since and will be making them a lot in the future.” and “I  just want to thank you again for this amazing recipe!

~ Miracle Multi-Grain Rolls (or Mini Bread Loaf) from Allergy-Free Alaska ~ gluten free, dairy free, vegetarian

From Megan: “Amazingly, I think this recipe tastes very similar to wheat bread.  It is one of my favorite recipes so far and I think you guys deserve to have it.  Everyone on a restricted diet deserves to eat tasty bread!”

Reader reviews: “What a great recipe! Thanks for sharing this one. I made buns and my kids loved them.” and “Out of the oven and into the mouth. Can’t wait for it to cool. It is so incredibly good I can hardly stand it!”

~ Overnight Rolls from Free Range Cookies ~ gluten free, dairy free, egg free, vegetarian, vegan (You can also use this recipe to make Hamburger Rolls or Sandwich Rolls. See all the gluten-free options here.)

Linda says: “You have to plan ahead for this one. But so worth it. Chewy like a sourdough and easy to work with, this bread can be made into rolls or buns.  It’d also make a fantastic pizza crust.

An overnight stay in the fridge enhances the texture and flavor of the bread by allowing the yeast time to do its thing. Relaxing in the fridge is also good for the flours. Who doesn’t love chilling, right?  So be sure to read all the instructions before you begin. Otherwise, you might do something silly, like preheat the oven or who knows what?”

~ Parker House Rolls from Better Batter ~ gluten free, vegetarian

Naomi of Better Batter says, “These rolls lend themselves particularly well to freezing and reheating. Serve them with soup or a meat dish and listen to the compliments. These rolls are a snap to make, but you’ve got to plan to make them ahead of time.” 

Reader reviews: “I made these rolls for Thanksgiving and they were/are amazing. Such a simple recipe and the flavor and texture were spot on.” and “I made these Wednesday and then froze overnight for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. I tasted one fresh out of the oven and was so happy with the taste! Even more than happy! And then at dinner yesterday, I advised everyone that they were gluten free and asked them to please try one. Of course, there were regular dinner rolls there too! But the people that tried them said they were very good and even had more than one! My brother is a dinner roll freak and he loved them!”

~ Perfect Gluten-Free Dinner Rolls from Sarah at Sarah Bakes Gluten Free ~ gluten free, vegetarian

Sarah shares that “These are the lightest, fluffiest rolls I have ever had.  I was almost in disbelief when I took the first bite. Her final conclusion:  “Perfect gluten-free rolls. They do exist!”

Reader reviews: “Whoa! These rolls are fluffy and delicious.” and “My family loved these the first time around! But I don’t have any yogurt at home today. (We happened to have some almond yogurt last time, which nobody liked on its own, and it worked great in these rolls).” and “I just made these for dinner and they are delicious! I’ve had two failed GF bread attempts, so I was not very optimistic, but these turned out perfectly!”

I used the my food processor with the dough blade and they turned out very well.”

~ The Softest Gluten-Free Rolls Ever from Let Them Eat Gluten-Free Cake ~ gluten free, vegetarian

Reader review: “I made this with Better Batter flour because I didn’t have all of the others on hand and the results were amazing! Froze and reheated perfectly! No one knew they were gluten free!” and “Tried these yesterday for my bday party (my first party after the pandemic started!) and they were DIVINE. Everyone at the party is non gf and they didn’t even notice the buns were gf. So thankful.”

Beth of Tasty Yummies says: “These beautiful whole-grain rolls are the perfect answer!! They are delicate and fluffy with the perfect crumb.
