“I am feeling fancy!! Why you ask? Because I made palmiers. Honestly, I have never had or really heard of palmiers until a few weeks ago when I was watching this episode of Pioneer Woman. It was an episode all about ways to use puff pastry. Sadly for us gluten free people…it is a no go on the puff pastry. If you have read other posts of mine you know I am not a huge baker. Yes, I am getting better and have quite a few recipes for baked goods here on GFJ, but I do not have patience for tedious baking. Being a mom to a crawling, curious 7 month old I also don’t have much time for fancy pastries.
Good news for gluten free, no -patience for fancy pastry people like me…you can make palmiers using All-Purpose Bread Mix from my friends at Chēbē. They look super fancy, but are easy to make. What I love about palmiers is that you can customize the filling any way you want…sweet, savory, spicy…the possibilities are endless. If you want to make a homemade appetizer that wows, this is it.” – Jessica Schlangen , Gluten Free Jess

- 1 package (7.5 oz) Chebe All-Purpose Bread Mix
- 4 Tbsp milk or milk substitute
- 2 Tbsp oil
- 2 large eggs at room temp
- 2 oz goat cheese softened to room temperature
- 2 Tbsp raspberry preserves
- 1 Tbsp raw walnuts finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp course sea salt
-
Preheat oven to 375°.
-
Make the bread mix according to package directions (Omit the optional step of adding cheese to the dough).
-
Carefully roll out the dough to a rectangle that is approximately 10x14 inches. If you roll this out on a marble board you do not need to flour it, but if you are using a wood board you will need to lightly dust with gf flour.
-
Combine the raspberry preserves and softened goat cheese and spread in an even layer on the dough.
-
Sprinkle finely chopped walnuts on top of the goat cheese mixture.
-
Carefully begin to roll each side in until the two rolled parts meet in the middle.
-
Place the rolled dough in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to chill.
-
Using a sharp knife slice the dough into ½ inch thick pieces and lay on a lightly greased baking sheet.
-
Melt butter and brush the tops of the palmiers.
-
Sprinkle with sea salt.
-
Bake for 15 minutes or until the palmiers are lightly golden brown.
