Soft, golden dinner rolls that happen to be completely free of wheat and gluten are a rare and genuinely exciting thing to pull off at home. The blend of white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch creates a tender crumb that holds together beautifully, while psyllium husk powder does the structural work that gluten normally handles in traditional bread. The dough comes together more like a thick batter than anything you'd knead on a counter, so don't be thrown off — that's exactly how it's supposed to look. A touch of apple cider vinegar brightens the flavor and helps the rolls rise evenly alongside the instant yeast. Because the ingredient list is built entirely from simple, recognizable pantry staples, there's nothing hidden here that could sneak in unwanted heat or seasoning — just clean, mild, buttery flavor from start to finish. A brush of melted butter straight out of the oven gives the tops a gorgeous sheen, and a pinch of flaky sea salt is all the finishing touch they need. Pull them apart warm and they're the kind of roll that disappears fast.

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.
