Make the dough: whisk together the white rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, xanthan gum, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in the center and add the eggs and olive oil. Mix with a fork, then use your hands to bring the dough together, adding cold water 1 tablespoon at a time until the dough holds together without crumbling and is smooth and pliable — it should feel like soft Play-Doh, not sticky.
