Gluten-free hamburger buns for all your burger needs this summer!
With summer right around the corner, I’ve been pondering all the grill-centric recipes I’ve been wanting to show you, and gluten-free hamburger buns has been high on that list for a long time! One of my recent projects was to photograph Red Star Yeast’s GF burger buns, so I figured I’d post a little teaser, as I couldn’t have done better developing the recipe, myself!
Let’s talk bun flavor and texture. The buns turn out airy and soft and have a similar flavor and texture to potato buns. If you’re a fan of a good ol’ classic potato bun, these gluten free hamburger buns are for you!
A couple notes about the recipe: The original recipe calls for garfava bean flour, but you can use garbanzo bean flour in a 1:1 replacement if you have it on hand. Similarly, the original recipe calls for cornstarch, but you can replace it with arrowroot flour in a 1:1 replacement. I used Red Star Yeast Active Dry Yeast to make the buns ultra airy and fluffy.
When you prepare regular hamburger buns using all-purpose flour, you can get away with doing a drop bun situation, without the need for a mold, but the dough for these buns is very wet and sticky, so you’ll need some sort of method to hold the dough together while it’s baking. I used a hamburger baking pan (doubles as a mini cake pan!) as a mold for the buns, but I’ve read you can also use English muffin rings.

I had to come back and leave a comment! I have tried several recipes and to be quite honest, I had given up on gluten free buns, because they taste terrible! I stumbled across this recipe while I was looking for something else and I am glad I did! Although I was hesitant, I felt like I didn’t have anything to lose since I had all the ingredients. I was very impressed with how they smelled and tasted! This recipe is the closet I have ever gotten to a real tasting hamburger bun! The texture was perfect! They were too delicious!
Yaaay! I’m so thrilled to hear you enjoy them! I’ve had the same experience with some of the recipes I’ve tried on the internet, so I’m happy this one was a win for both of us 🙂 Many thanks for the sweet note! xo
love having the picture included with the recipe. Would like if change-up notes could be entered on the bottom of the same page.
Homemade burger buns elevate a burger in the best possible way and it’s been way too long since I made them! I love this gluten-free option and the texture sounds just perfect!
