Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water
- 4 tsp. active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 cups gluten-free flour
- 1 Tbsp. xanthan gum
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1-3/4 tsp. salt
- 4 eggs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Topping
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp. cinnamon
- 1/2 cup butter melted
Instructions
-
Place 3/4 cup warm water, yeast and sugar in a small bowl; let sit for 5 minutes until bubbly. Prep dough ingredients.
-
Using stand mixer, combine flour, xanthan gum, baking powder and salt. Whisk together. Add yeast mixture, eggs and oil. Mix on medium speed with dough hook. Add 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until dough is sticky but touchable. Knead in mixer for 5 minutes.
-
In medium bowl with lid, combine cinnamon and sugar. Scoop tablespoon-sized dough balls and drop into cinnamon sugar. Cover and shake to coat.

Place dough balls into greased 12-cup Bundt pan, evenly distributing. Pour remaining cinnamon sugar over top, cover and let rise in warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
