10 servings
For the dough
- ¾ cup plant-based milk, warmed to 110°f (43°c)
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
Ingredient noteLow 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.
- 3 tbsp organic cane sugar, divided
- 3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tsp salt
- 3 tbsp vegan butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
For the cinnamon swirl
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Ingredient noteSome low histamine plans avoid cinnamon, but cinnamon doesn't actually contain histamine. This recipe only uses about 1/4 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 2 tbsp vegan butter, softened
For finishing
- 1 tbsp plant-based milk, for brushing
- 1 tbsp organic cane sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warmed plant-based milk, yeast, and 1 tbsp of the organic cane sugar. Stir briefly and let stand for 5–8 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty.

Add the melted vegan butter, vanilla extract, and remaining 2 tbsp organic cane sugar 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 away cleanly from the sides of the bowl.
