Ingredients

12 servings

For the dough

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.

¾ cup warm milk (110°f / 43°c)
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
½ tsp salt
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
½ tsp vanilla extract

For the cinnamon sugar

⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
Ingredient note
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.

For assembly

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the glaze

½ cup powdered sugar
1–2 tbsp milk

Instructions

1
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm milk, 2 tbsp granulated sugar, and yeast. Let stand for 5–10 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty.
2
Add the melted butter and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture and stir to combine. Add the flour and salt, then mix with a dough hook on medium speed (or stir with a wooden spoon and knead by hand) for 6–8 minutes, until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
