Soft, golden dinner rolls that happen to be completely gluten free — these are the kind of thing that makes a dinner table feel complete without anyone feeling like they're missing out. The blend of white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch does the heavy lifting here, creating a tender crumb and a beautifully browned crust that rivals anything made with wheat. Psyllium husk powder acts as the binding agent, giving the dough enough structure to rise and hold its shape even though it behaves more like a thick batter than a traditional rollable dough. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of capsaicin and hot pepper derivatives, so there's no need to scan labels or worry about spice sneaking in through a seasoning blend. The rolls bake up in a cozy 3×3 arrangement, pulling apart into pillowy, slightly chewy rounds that are finished with melted butter and an optional sprinkle of flaky sea salt. They're the kind of side dish that disappears fast, whether you're serving them alongside a holiday roast or just a weeknight bowl of soup.

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.
