Ingredients

• 300 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 100 grams Coconut sugar
• 100 grams Unsalted butter

• 120 ml Milk
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 100 grams Ground almonds
• 100 grams Ground hazelnuts
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 50 grams Powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon Water

Directions

Step 1

Warm the milk to about 110°F (43°C) and dissolve the yeast in it. Let it sit for about 10 minutes or until it becomes foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine gluten-free flour, coconut sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and egg, stirring to combine.

Step 3

Melt the butter and pour it into the flour mixture. Mix until a soft, sticky dough forms.

Step 4

Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6

After the dough has risen, flour a clean surface and roll it into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, combine ground almonds, ground hazelnuts, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and cinnamon.

Step 8

Spread the nut mixture evenly over the rolled out dough.

Step 9

Roll the dough into a log from the longer side. Cut the log into 12 evenly sized pieces.

Step 10

Place each piece, cut side down, onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

Step 12

While the Nussschnecken are baking, prepare a simple glaze by mixing powdered sugar with water.

Step 13

Once baked, remove the Nussschnecken from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before drizzling with the glaze.

Step 14

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade Gluten-Free Nussschnecke.
