Gluten-Free Hot Cross Buns
February 23, 2024Hot cross buns are an Easter classic, especially in the United Kingdom and British Commonwealth, but with their blend of dried fruits, zests, and spices, they make an excellent sweet treat any time of year.
This recipe was provided by our friends at the Gluten-Free Palate.
Ingredients
Hot Cross Buns
- 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 5 Tablespoon cornstarch
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoon dry quick yeast
- 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
- ⅓ teaspoon cinnamon
- ⅓ teaspoon salt
- ⅓ teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- ⅓ cup dried currants
- 3 Tablespoon dried cranberries
- 2 Tablespoon crushed almonds
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon orange peel
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup melted butter
Glaze
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 2 Tablespoon orange juice (or milk)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 360°F. Pour flour, starch, sugar, quick dry yeast, and cream of tartar into a deep bowl, mix with a whisk.
- Add spices, lemon and orange zest, salt, and mix again.
- Add vinegar, vanilla, and butter.
- Add eggs and start mixing everything. As a result, you should get a soft sticky dough, do not add a lot of flour, otherwise it will turn out to be too dense. If you see that there is not enough liquid, pour in some milk.
- Add dried currants, dried cranberries, and chopped almonds.
- Stir again, cover the bowl with cling film and leave for half an hour in a warm place. During this time, the dough will increase slightly in size and become even softer and fluffier.
- Divide the dough into 6 parts.
- Form each piece of dough into a small bun about 3 inches in diameter. Transfer the buns to a baking sheet lined with parchment, cover with cling film and leave for another 15 minutes.
- On top of each bun, make an incision in the shape of a cross.
- Grease each bun with sweet water made from a teaspoon of powdered sugar and 3 tablespoons of water. Put the buns in the oven and bake for about half an hour. Remove the buns from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Make a glaze with orange juice and powdered sugar. If you want the glaze to be perfectly white, use milk or water instead of orange juice. Lemon juice is also suitable.
- Apply glaze to the cross-shaped cuts on the buns and leave to dry. Hot cross buns can be tasted as soon as they have cooled down a bit.

Gluten-Free Egg Rolls
January 29, 2024Egg rolls are a staple of American-Chinese food. This recipe provides a gluten-free alternative to the traditional wheat flour wrap, but doesn’t sacrifice any of the taste. Substitute fillings to your taste and enjoy!
This recipe was provided courtesy of our friends at the Gluten-Free Palate.
Ingredients
Wrap
- 1 cup gluten-free flour, plus more for sprinkling
- 1⁄3 cup sweet rice flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 eggs at room temperature, beaten
- 1 Tablespoon warm water, plus more if needed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Filling
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 onion, chopped into small pieces
- 2 cups shredded cabbage
- 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 Tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 Tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 Tablespoon rice wine vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 1⁄4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1⁄4 teaspoon salt
- Oil for frying
Instructions
Make the Wrappers
- In a large mixing bowl, mix gluten-free flour, sweet rice flour, and sea salt.
- Make a hole in the dry mix, add the eggs, warm water, and olive oil. Using a fork or a spatula, mix until it crumbles.
- Using your hand, knead the dough until you can form a smooth dough ball. It will be a bit sticky, but not a messy sticky. Cover with plastic wrap and rest for 30-60 minutes.
- Put the dough on a large flat floured surface and divide it into 4 portions.
- Take one part of the dough and start to flatten it using a rolling pin. Sprinkle some flour on the top of the dough to make it easier to form it. The result should be very very thin until you can see through your finger when you pick it up.
- Cut the wrap into 7”x7” sizes. Brush some flour and stack them. Cover with plastic wrap to avoid drying. Do the same with the rest.
Cook the Filling
- In a large wok, heat olive oil using over medium heat. Cook the ground beef for around 5 minutes, or until no longer pink. Break up the meat while cooking then drain excess oil from the wok.
- Add onion then cook until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add cornstarch and garlic powder to the wok. Cook until incorporated and starch is fully absorbed.
- Add the sesame oil, soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, honey, freshly ground black pepper, ginger, and salt.
- Reduce the heat to low, add shredded cabbage, and toss until it is wilted. Cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Take off from the heat and let it rest for around 10 minutes.
Assemble and Fry
- Place a wrapper on a flat surface, with one corner toward you, so it looks like a diamond. Put 2 tablespoons of filling in the lower middle of the wrapper, about 1 inch from the corner. Fold the corner closest to you to the middle, over the filling.
- Fold the corners on the right and left to the middle, too. It should look a bit like an envelope.
- Roll the wrapper from the bottom to the final corner. Moisten this end corner with water to seal it. Roll it fairly tight to avoid trapping air in the egg roll.
- Repeat these steps with other wrappers.
- If you have a deep fryer, deep fry the egg rolls until golden brown. Otherwise, heat a few inches of oil in a pan to about 350°–375°F (177–190°C) and fry until golden brown, flipping the rolls halfway through to get an even color and cook.

Gluten-Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread
December 28, 2023Some say cinnamon bread is the best way to eat raisins—whether you love them or tolerate them, this gluten-free bread is sure to please anyone! Spread jam on it for a sweet treat, or enjoy it with peanut butter for a more protein-focused breakfast.
This recipe was provided courtesy of our friends at the Gluten-Free Palate.
Ingredients
Bread
- 2 ½ teaspoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm milk
- 4 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup plain yogurt
- 2 ¾ cups of gluten-free flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup canola oil
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup raisins, soaked in warm water for 30 minutes then fully drained. Tap with kitchen towel if needed.
Cinnamon Swirl
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon
- 3 Tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 Tablespoon butter, melted (for brushing the dough before it’s ready to bake)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, mix yeast, warm milk, and brown sugar. Mix until the sugar is well dissolved, and cover with a warm kitchen towel for 10-15 minutes or until the yeast blooms (it’s bubbly on the top).
- In a bowl of a stand mixer, using a whisk attachment, mix eggs, yogurt, and yeast mixture until incorporated.
- Change the whisk attachment to the hook attachment and add gluten-free flour and ground cinnamon. Mix well using medium speed for 5-10 minutes.
- Add canola oil and salt and mix for another 10 minutes.
- Last, add the raisins and mix again just until incorporated.
- Take the bowl off the stand mixer, and place the dough on a floured flat surface. Knead or fold for another 5 minutes or until the dough becomes smooth and form it into a ball.
- Put the dough ball in a large, oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest in a warm place for 45-60 minutes or until it doubles in size.
- Mix the butter, cinnamon, and brown sugar in a bowl. Refrigerate until the dough is ready.
- Generously grease the loaf pan with butter. A 8 x 4.5 x 4-inch loaf pan will do.
- After waiting, put the dough on a floured flat surface and punch the air out of it. Form it into a ball then divide it into 5 equal parts. Take 1 part (keep the others covered with a kitchen towel) and roll it out into a rectangle, ½-inch-thick and 7½ inch-long (or however long your loaf pan is).
- Spread ⅕ of the cinnamon butter mixture on top of the rectangle of dough, then roll the dough to form a log with a length of 7½ inches. Repeat with the rest of the dough sections.
- Now you have 5 logs of dough. Put 2 of the logs on the bottom of the pan, side by side, and put the others on top of them.
- Cover the pan using a towel and let it rest for another 45-60 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
- Pre-heat your oven to 350°F.
- When the dough is ready, brush the dough with melted butter.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes. If the top of the bread is getting brown fast, cover with aluminum foil.
