Soft, golden dinner rolls that pull apart at the table are one of those simple pleasures that can feel completely out of reach when you're navigating gluten-free eating — but this recipe genuinely delivers. The dough comes together from a blend of white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch, with psyllium husk powder doing the structural work that gluten normally handles, so the rolls bake up pillowy and tender rather than dense or gummy. Apple cider vinegar and a touch of baking powder give the crumb a subtle lift, while whole milk, eggs, and melted butter keep everything rich and satisfying. The entire ingredient list is naturally free from tree nuts, including hazelnuts, so there's no need to scrutinize labels or worry about hidden nut-based flours sneaking in. The dough behaves more like a thick batter than a traditional bread dough, which means no kneading — just mix, scoop, and let it rise. A brush of melted butter and a pinch of flaky sea salt right out of the oven takes these from good to genuinely impressive. They're the kind of rolls that disappear fast, so you might want to double the batch.

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.
