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 granulated sugar
3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
1 tsp fine salt
2 large eggs, room temperature
4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled

For the cinnamon sugar coating

¾ cup granulated sugar
2 tsp ground cinnamon
Ingredient note
Some low histamine plans limit cinnamon, but counting all uses, this recipe has about 1/4 teaspoon per serving and likely stays within the reviewed range. If you prefer to always avoid cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
6 tbsp unsalted butter, melted

For the caramel glaze

¾ cup packed light brown sugar
6 tbsp unsalted butter
½ tsp ground cinnamon
Ingredient note
Some low histamine plans limit cinnamon, but counting all uses, this recipe has about 1/4 teaspoon per serving and likely stays within the reviewed range. If you prefer to always avoid cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ tsp fine salt
1 tsp pure vanilla extract

For the pan

nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

1
Combine the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tsp of the granulated sugar (taken from the dough's 1/4 cup) in the bowl of a stand mixer. Let stand until foamy and fragrant, about 5–10 minutes. If the mixture does not foam, the yeast is inactive — start again with fresh yeast.
2
Add the remaining granulated sugar, flour, salt, eggs, and melted butter to the yeast mixture. Mix on low speed with the dough hook until the flour is incorporated, about 2 minutes, then increase to medium speed and knead until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and pulls cleanly away from the sides of the bowl, about 8–10 minutes.
