Soft, golden dinner rolls fresh from the oven are one of those things that can feel out of reach when you're avoiding gluten — but this recipe proves otherwise. The combination of white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch creates a tender, pillowy crumb that holds together beautifully, while psyllium husk powder does the structural work that gluten normally would. The dough comes together more like a thick batter than a traditional bread dough, so don't be alarmed when it's too sticky to knead — that's exactly how it should look. Apple cider vinegar and a touch of baking powder give the rolls a subtle lift and a slightly complex flavor that makes them taste like they came from a real bakery. Arranged snugly in an 8×8 pan, they 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 sprinkle of flaky sea salt at the end is optional, but honestly, don't skip it. Every ingredient here is straightforward and naturally free from tree nuts, so there's no label-scanning or substitution stress — just genuinely good rolls ready for the dinner table.

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.
