Soft, pillowy dinner rolls that happen to be completely gluten free — these are the kind of thing that disappear from the basket before the main course even hits the table. A blend of white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch does the heavy lifting here, creating a tender crumb that genuinely rivals anything made with wheat. Psyllium husk powder acts as the binding agent, giving the dough enough structure to rise and hold together without any gluten to lean on. The dough itself is more of a thick, sticky batter than a traditional rollable dough, so don't be alarmed — that's exactly how it should look, and the oven does the rest. A brush of melted butter straight out of the oven and a pinch of flaky sea salt on top takes these from good to genuinely craveable. Every ingredient in this recipe is naturally free of cinnamon and warm spice blends, so there's no label-reading required and no risk of a sneaky spice hiding in the mix. Pull them apart warm and enjoy them with dinner, or save a couple for the next morning — they reheat beautifully.

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.
