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 don't crumble. Apple cider vinegar gives the dough a subtle lift and helps with texture in a way that makes these taste far more like "real" rolls than most alternatives. The dough comes together thick and sticky — more like a stiff batter than anything you'd knead — so don't be alarmed when it doesn't behave like traditional bread dough. Every ingredient here is straightforward pantry staple territory, with zero nuts of any kind, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about cross-contact from nut-based flours. A brush of melted butter straight out of the oven and a pinch of flaky sea salt on top takes them from good to genuinely impressive. Serve them warm alongside a roast, a bowl of soup, or honestly just on their own — they won't last long either way.

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.
