1
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot when you place the buns inside.
2
Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the buns from sticking.

3
Combine Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix the gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, xanthan gum, and salt until well combined.

4
Whisk Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, olive oil, and honey until smooth.

5
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures
Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
6
Add Optional Seeds
If using sesame seeds, fold them into the dough gently.

7
Form the Buns
Using a large spoon or ice cream scoop, drop spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, shaping them into round buns.
8
Bake the Buns
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

9
Cool the Buns
Remove the buns from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
