After suffering for a year with store-bought frozen GF rolls which crumbled into sand, my husband also discovered he had celiac and I knew he wouldn’t suffer these! I found a recipe online which I have changed and adapted and changed and adapted and have now found perfection!

 

This Gluten Free Flour Mix can be used to substitute for regular flour, cup for cup.

Is the oat in here for texture/consistency or taste? My Rabbi said it is hamotzi if it’s in there for taste, but not hamotzi if it’s in there for texture consistency – so trying to figure that out. Thank you!

Consistency- the flavor of oats is pretty light

Can I try adding some baking powder? I find that it adds fluffiness to GF challah.

Sure, if you’ve done it before and it worked you can try that.
