Soft, golden dinner rolls that happen to be gluten free — and made entirely without seed oils — feel like a small miracle, but this recipe pulls it off with a short, clean ingredient list. The fat here comes from real unsalted butter and whole eggs, so you get rich flavor and a tender crumb without any refined vegetable or canola oil sneaking in. Psyllium husk powder does the structural work that gluten normally handles, binding the rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch into a dough that rises beautifully and bakes up pillowy inside with a deep golden crust on top. The dough is thick and sticky — more like a stiff batter — so don't panic when it doesn't look like a traditional roll dough; that's exactly how it should be. A final brush of melted butter straight out of the oven and a pinch of flaky sea salt take these from good to genuinely impressive. They pull apart in that satisfying, soft way that makes it hard to stop at one, and they hold up well alongside soups, roasts, or anything else on 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.
