Black Pepper Free Gluten Free Dinner Rolls
Soft, pillowy dinner rolls that happen to be completely gluten free — these are the kind of thing you bring to the table and watch disappear before the main course even lands. A blend of white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch does the heavy lifting here, while psyllium husk powder gives the dough the structure and chew that gluten would normally provide. The result is a thick, sticky batter-style dough that transforms in the oven into rolls with a genuinely golden, bakery-worthy crust. Apple cider vinegar brightens the flavor, and a final brush of melted butter with a pinch of flaky sea salt takes them completely over the top. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of black pepper — no spice blends, no seasoning shortcuts, nothing hidden — so you can serve these with total confidence. They bake up in a snug 3×3 pan so the sides stay soft and pull-apart tender, which is exactly what a dinner roll should be. Whether you're pairing them with soup, a holiday roast, or just eating them warm with extra butter, these rolls deliver every time.
