Ingredients

9 servings

For the dough

¾ cup milk, warmed to 110°f (43°c)
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's the most reliable milk swap and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods; for hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
2 tbsp maple syrup, divided
2 large eggs, room temperature
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and cooled
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
2 ½ cups gluten free flour blend
1 tsp xanthan gum (omit if your flour blend already contains it)
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp fine salt

For the filling

3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
½ cup packed light brown sugar
1 tbsp maple syrup
2 tsp ground cinnamon

For the glaze

4 oz cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted
2 tbsp milk

½ tsp pure vanilla extract

Instructions

1
Combine the warm milk (110°F / 43°C), yeast, and 1 tbsp of the maple syrup in the bowl of a stand mixer. Stir briefly and let stand for 5–8 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty.
2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the gluten free flour blend, xanthan gum (if using), baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
