Brazil Nut Free Gluten Free Dinner Rolls
Soft, golden dinner rolls fresh from the oven are one of those simple pleasures that can feel out of reach when you're navigating a gluten-free kitchen — but this recipe genuinely delivers. A blend of white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch creates a tender, pillowy crumb, while psyllium husk powder does the structural work that gluten normally handles, binding everything together beautifully. The dough comes together more like a thick batter than a traditional bread dough, so don't be alarmed when it's sticky and scoopable rather than kneadable — that's exactly how it should look. Apple cider vinegar and a touch of baking powder give the rolls a subtle lift and a slightly complex flavor that makes them taste far more involved than they actually are. After baking to a deep golden brown, a brush of melted butter and a pinch of flaky sea salt on top takes them completely over the edge. Every ingredient here is straightforward pantry staple territory, with no hidden additives or specialty products that could introduce unwanted allergens. Pull them apart warm and serve alongside soup, a roast, or honestly anything — they disappear fast.
