1 tsp Xanthan Gum

the Xanthan Gum out)
½ tsp salt
1 cup luke warm water
1tsp sugar
1 Tbsp active dry yeast
1 egg plus 1 egg yolk (room temperature)
1 ½ Tbsp sugar
3 Tbsp margarine melted
¾ cup jam
In medium mixing bowl combine flour, baking powder, Xanthan, and salt. Mix until blended.
In large mixing bowl combine warm water, 1 tsp sugar and yeast. Set aside until yeast is dissolved and bubbly.
To yeast mixture add eggs, 1 ½ Tbsp sugar and cooled, melted butter.
With electric mixer beat on low until blended. Add half of the flour mixture and beat on low until well blended. Stir in remaining flour mixture and beat until smooth.

Icing
½ cup powdered sugar
1 Tbsp butter
1 Tbsp milk to desired consistency
The fun thing about this recipe is you can make the rolls plain, cut them and use them as rolls. If the dough seems a little too runny add a little more flour.
