Soft, pillowy dinner rolls that happen to be completely gluten free — yes, they really do exist, and this recipe delivers the real thing. A blend of white rice flour, tapioca starch, and potato starch creates a tender crumb, while psyllium husk powder does the structural work that gluten normally handles, giving each roll that satisfying pull-apart texture. The dough comes together more like a thick batter than a traditional bread dough, so don't panic when it looks nothing like what you'd knead on a countertop — that's exactly how it should look. Eggs, warm whole milk, and melted butter bring richness and a golden color that makes these rolls look every bit as good as they taste. Arranged snugly in an 8×8 pan, they bake up touching each other, which encourages that soft, fluffy interior and a beautifully deep golden top. A final brush of melted butter straight from the oven and a pinch of flaky sea salt take them from great to genuinely impressive. Whether you're serving them alongside a weeknight dinner or bringing them to a gathering, nobody at the table will feel like they're missing out on anything.

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.
