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.

Hi Reader! I'm going to be honest with you. My brain is absolute mush right now. February has that effect. The holidays are a distant memory, spring feels far away, and every night around 5pm I stare into the fridge like it owes me an explanation. If you're in the same late-winter fog, I've got you. Here are five of my easiest, most comforting gluten-free dinners. These are the ones I reach for when I have zero brainpower left but still want to eat well without thinking too hard. Bacon...
Hi Reader! If you're anything like me, tomorrow is going to involve a lot of time on the couch, and I'm not mad about it. The winter games just kicked off in Italy (that opening ceremony!), the big game is tomorrow, and honestly, that's a perfectly good excuse to spend the whole day snacking. Whether you're watching figure skating, football, or flipping back and forth between both, here are six gluten-free recipes to keep your spread stocked all day long. They're easy to pull together, some...
Hi Reader! Remember my enriched yeast dough I used in my gluten-free dinner rolls? Well, I fried it. These gluten-free fried donuts are light, pillowy, and taste like real yeasted donuts. Not baked cake donuts in a pan. Actual fried donuts like you'd get at Dunkin, but better. This is the same base as my cinnamon rolls, crescent rolls and dinner rolls, so if you loved those, you're going to love these too. Finish with thick vanilla glaze and sprinkles, or keep it simple and toss in sugar...
