Soft, golden dinner rolls fresh from the oven are one of those simple pleasures that feel almost impossible to replicate without wheat flour — but this recipe proves otherwise. A blend 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 beautifully. The dough comes together more like a thick batter than a traditional bread dough, so don't be alarmed when it's too sticky to knead — that's exactly how it should look. Warm milk, eggs, melted butter, and a splash of apple cider vinegar round out the flavor and give these rolls a richness that rivals any bakery version. They bake up in a snug 3×3 grid so the sides stay pillowy soft while the tops turn a deep, gorgeous golden brown. A final brush of melted butter and a pinch of flaky sea salt right out of the oven takes them completely over the top. Pull them apart warm and enjoy every single bite — no compromises required.

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.
