Here is the recipe for soft and delicate Gluten-free milk rolls—perfect not only to accompany meals or breakfast, but also as a versatile base for other preparations. In particular, they work beautifully in one of the regional recipes featured in our culinary Giro d’Italia in 20 recipes.

Since white bread is not always the best ally for blood sugar levels, we can make a small but effective adjustment: replace 20 g of one of the gluten-free flours with 20 g of inulin. This simple swap helps slightly lower the glycaemic index without compromising texture or flavour.

Now it’s time to get your hands into the dough. Just a few steps, a little care, and the aroma of freshly baked bread will do the rest. Let’s prepare these gluten-free milk rolls together, ready to tell the story of a stage of our Giro d’Italia… one bite at a time.

The Secret to a Great Sandwich? The Bread! Without a doubt, the key to a great sandwich is the bread! When I made the Tuna Melt, one of the elements that truly made a difference was my Wholemeal Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread—a recipe carefully designed to ensure softness, flavor, and a balanced impact on blood sugar levels.

This bread is perfect not only for gooey, irresistible sandwiches but also for breakfasts, sweet or savoury toasts, and creative bruschettas. Its soft texture and slightly rustic flavor make it an excellent base for many preparations—try using it to make these Bruschette Assortment!

If you’re looking for a gluten-free bread that doesn’t crumble and stays soft even the next day, this is the recipe for you!
