Soft, golden dinner rolls that actually tear apart and taste like the real thing — that's the promise here, and this recipe delivers. The blend of white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch creates a tender, pillowy crumb without a single grain of oats or wheat in sight, making it a genuinely safe choice for anyone navigating oat sensitivity or cross-reactive gluten concerns. Psyllium husk powder does the heavy lifting that gluten normally would, binding everything together so the dough rises beautifully and holds its shape in the pan. Don't be alarmed when the dough looks more like a thick batter than something you'd knead — that's exactly how it's supposed to behave, and the oven transforms it into something wonderfully fluffy. Arranged snugly in an 8×8 pan, the rolls bake up with soft, pull-apart sides and deep golden tops that get an immediate brush of melted butter straight out of the oven. A pinch of flaky sea salt on top is optional, but honestly, don't skip it — it makes these taste like something from a proper bakery bread basket. Serve them warm alongside soup, a holiday roast, or just on their own with a little extra butter.

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.
