Soft, golden dinner rolls that pull apart beautifully are one of those things that feel almost impossible to recreate without wheat flour — but this recipe genuinely delivers. The combination of white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch creates a tender crumb, while psyllium husk powder does the structural work that gluten normally handles, binding everything together so the rolls hold their shape and stay pillowy inside. Apple cider vinegar gives the dough a subtle lift and helps the texture stay light rather than dense or gummy. Because every ingredient here is a whole, recognizable pantry staple, you sidestep the preservative concerns that come with many packaged gluten-free baked goods, where BHA and BHT often sneak in through commercial flour blends or shelf-stable fats. The dough behaves more like a thick batter than a traditional bread dough, so don't be thrown off — just trust the process, let it rise, and the oven does the rest. A brush of melted butter straight out of the oven and a pinch of flaky sea salt on top takes these from good to genuinely impressive. Serve them warm alongside soup, a holiday roast, or honestly just on their own — they won't last long.

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.
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.
