Scale
Dough:
- 2 cups of warm water
- 1 packet of yeast
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon of chai powder
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 3 1/2 cups of gluten-free flour
Chai / Cinnamon Sugar:
- 3/4 cups of granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoon of chai powder
- 2 tablespoons of ground cinnamon
Melted Butter:
- 4 tablespoons of melted vegan butter
Instructions
- In a bowl mix together the sugar, chai powder, and ground cinnamon and set aside
- In a large bowl, pour in the warm water, add the yeast and using a spoon agitate the water and the yeast until slight bubbles form
- Next add the baking powder, chai powder, cinnamon and gluten-free flour until a dough forms
- Grease a baking pan, I like to use a loaf pan, if you are using a bundt pan you will need to 1 1/2 the recipe
- Using your hands, form 1″ dough balls and roll each dough ball through the chai cinnamon sugar mixture you prepared, and place the dough balls in the pan.
- Repeat the dough ball sugar coating process until the dough is fully used up,
- You will have a lot of sugar and chai, cinnamon left over – using a new bowl, melt the vegan butter and pour the butter into the sugar mixture to create a loose sugar butter paste
- Pour the cinnamon sugar, butter mixture over the top of the dough balls
- Place the pan in a warm spot in your house for about 1 hour for the dough to double in size
- Once the dough has doubled in size, place in a 425°F oven for 30 minutes until the butter is bubbly and the top looks crunchy
- Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15 minutes before removing from the pan
Notes
- If you use a bundt pan, 1 1/2 or 2x the recipe
