Soft, golden dinner rolls that actually tear apart like the real thing — that's exactly what this recipe delivers, and it does it without a single grain of wheat or tree nut in sight. The dough comes together with white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch as the base, while psyllium husk powder does the heavy lifting that gluten would normally handle, giving the rolls their structure and that satisfying pull. Apple cider vinegar and a touch of baking powder work quietly in the background to keep the crumb light rather than dense. The dough is thick and sticky — closer to a stiff batter than anything you'd knead on a countertop — so don't be alarmed when it doesn't behave like a traditional bread dough. After a proper rise and a short rest in the pan, the rolls bake up deep golden brown and hollow-sounding when tapped, which is exactly what you want. A brush of melted butter straight out of the oven and a pinch of flaky sea salt on top takes them from good to genuinely impressive. Serve them warm alongside a roast, a bowl of soup, or honestly just on their own — no one will miss the original.

Ingredients

9 servings

For the dough

1 cup white rice flour
¾ cup tapioca starch
¼ cup potato starch
2 tsp instant yeast
2 tsp psyllium husk powder
1 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp fine salt
½ tsp baking powder
¾ cup whole milk, warmed to 110°f (43°c)
2 large eggs, room temperature
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
1 tsp apple cider vinegar

For brushing

1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
flaky sea salt, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

1
Whisk together the white rice flour, tapioca starch, potato starch, instant yeast, psyllium husk powder, sugar, salt, and baking powder in the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl if using a hand mixer) until evenly combined.
2
Warm the milk in a small saucepan over low heat until it reaches 110°F (43°C) on an instant-read thermometer — warm to the touch but not hot. Add the warm milk, eggs, 3 tablespoons melted butter, and apple cider vinegar to the dry ingredients.
