Soft, fluffy gluten-free dinner rolls recipe
|
Hi Reader! My gluten-free dinner rolls have been making rounds on TikTok and in your kitchens, and I've been reading every single comment and message. Here's what people are saying:
"Ah.maze.ing! I've already made two batches of these this week for Thanksgiving!"— emily
"Just made these and they turned out so good!"— Rachel If you haven't tried them yet, let me tell you what makes them different from every other gluten-free dinner roll recipe out there. What Makes This Recipe DifferentHere's the thing about most gluten-free dinner roll recipes (including my own attempts in the past!!)... They use a 1:1 flour blend and create a wet batter that you scoop into a pan. And sure, those can be delicious — but they're not the same as traditional dinner rolls. You can't knead them. You can't shape them. I wanted something you could actually work with your hands. Something that felt like making real dinner rolls. So I built a custom flour blend — brown rice flour for structure, tapioca starch for elasticity, and potato starch for tenderness. But the real game-changer is psyllium husk gel. Psyllium Husk is the KEY to this DoughI hydrate whole psyllium husk in warm water first to create a gel before mixing it into the dough. This transforms the dough from a sticky mess into something you can actually knead, shape, and roll into smooth balls with your hands — just like you would with wheat flour. The result is dinner rolls that rise tall, bake up golden, and have that soft, pillowy texture you remember.
One Dough, Endless PossibilitiesIf you made my gluten-free cinnamon rolls a few weeks ago, you'll recognize this dough — it's the same enriched base, just halved and made savory instead of sweet. Once you master this technique, you can make cinnamon rolls, dinner rolls, and so many other yeasted breads. It's a building block recipe. These are perfect for soaking up gravy, slathering with butter, or brushing with garlic and herbs. You can even prep them the night before — shape, cover, refrigerate overnight, then let them finish rising before baking. If you make these, I'd love to hear what you think. Reply to this email or tag me on TikTok or Instagram — I read everything! -Meg |

Hi Reader! Happy Thanksgiving week! I know this time of year can feel a little overwhelming when you're navigating the holiday gluten-free, so I wanted to send you some love, some recipes, and a big thank you. A Note of Gratitude I've been reading your comments on my blog, email and Tiktok lately, and so many of you have been making my recipes (especially my bread recipes) and have mentioned that I've made celiac disease bearable for you again. There have been so many comments of those who...
Hi Reader! If you’ve been missing real cinnamon rolls since going gluten-free… this one’s for you. These gluten-free cinnamon rolls are soft, fluffy, and topped with cream cheese frosting that melts right into the spirals. I tested them again and again to make sure they taste just like the ones you remember — not just good for gluten-free, but truly good. What Makes This Recipe Different This recipe also takes a different approach than most gluten-free cinnamon rolls you’ll find online....
Hi Reader! Last weekend, we packed up the car and drove to Wisconsin for a little fall adventure—apple picking! My toddler had the best time walking through the orchard, carefully picking apples off the trees, and taking enthusiastic bites out of each one she grabbed. We ended up coming home with way too many apples (as always)—a mix of Snapdragons, Mosaics (like a sweeter Granny Smith), and Rosalees. They’re all perfect for both snacking and baking, so naturally I started dreaming up what to...
