Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ teaspoons xanthan gum (omit if using blend with xanthan gum)
- 2 ½ teaspoons baking powder
- 1 ¼ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 ⅞ cups plain Greek-style yogurt
- ⅓ cup lukewarm water
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon milk (any kind)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven: Set the oven to 350°F. Line a loaf pan or muffin tin with parchment paper or liners for easy removal.
- Mix the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour, xanthan gum, baking powder, and salt. Fold in yogurt and water until the dough forms and holds together, adding more water if needed.
- Shape the dough: Roll dough onto a floured surface and cut into small rounds using a cookie cutter. Avoid overworking the dough to keep it light and airy.
- Coat with cinnamon sugar: Combine sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl. Roll dough pieces in melted butter, then coat generously in the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
- Assemble and bake: Layer dough pieces into your prepared pan, stacking loosely to allow for even baking. Bake for 25 minutes or until golden-brown and firm to the touch.
- Glaze and serve: Prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and milk until pourable. Drizzle over the fully cooled bread and enjoy!
