Soft, golden dinner rolls that actually tear apart like the real thing — that's exactly what this recipe delivers, and it does it without a speck of wheat or lupin flour in sight. Lupin is increasingly common as a protein booster in gluten-free baking blends and specialty flours, so checking every store-bought roll or mix has become a real chore for anyone avoiding it. Here, the dough is built entirely from white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch, so you know exactly what's going into every bite. Psyllium husk powder does the structural heavy lifting that gluten would normally handle, giving these rolls a tender, cohesive crumb rather than the crumbly texture that plagues so many alternatives. The dough comes together thick and sticky — more like a stiff batter than anything you'd knead — but don't let that throw you off, because the rise and the oven do all the work. A brush of melted butter straight out of the oven gives the tops that glossy, irresistible finish, and a pinch of flaky sea salt takes them right over the edge. Pull them apart warm and they're genuinely hard to stop eating.

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.
