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.
Some low histamine plans avoid cinnamon, but cinnamon doesn't actually contain histamine. This recipe only uses about 1/8 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
Make the tangzhong: whisk together 3 tbsp all-purpose flour and 1/2 cup milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens into a smooth, paste-like consistency and pulls away from the sides of the pan, about 2–3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature.
In the bowl of a stand mixer (or a large mixing bowl), combine the warmed milk and granulated sugar. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let stand until foamy and fragrant, about 5–10 minutes. If the yeast does not foam, discard and start again with fresh yeast.
