Ingredients

8 servings

For the dough

¼ cup warm water (105–110°f / 40–43°c)
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
Ingredient note
Low histamine diets often flag yeast because of its association with fermentation, but baker's yeast is a fresh cultured leavening that does not carry the pre-formed histamine of aged or fermented foods, and the small amount used to raise dough adds little. It is likely fine here. If you prefer to always avoid active dry yeast, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

¼ cup whole milk, warm
3 tbsp granulated sugar
1 tsp fine salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
6 tbsp unsalted butter, softened and cut into 1-inch pieces

For the egg wash

1 large egg
1 tbsp whole milk
1 tbsp sesame seeds (optional)
Ingredient note
Nuts and seeds are typically low in histamine but carry other amines. This recipe only uses about 1 g per serving. If you prefer to always avoid sesame seed, please tap it and change its rating to Red.

Instructions

1
Combine the warm water, warm milk, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let stand for 5–8 minutes, until the mixture is foamy and the yeast is visibly active.
2
Add the sugar, salt, and 3 eggs to the yeast mixture. Add the flour on top. Mix on low speed with the dough hook until a shaggy dough forms and no dry flour remains, about 2 minutes.
