INGREDIENTS
1 tube crescent rolls
6 oz. softened cream cheese
1/2 cup 100% pure pumpkin (not pie filling)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch of ground cloves
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons unbleached flour

FOR THE GLAZE
2 oz. cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoon milk

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese, pumpkin, sugar, spices, flour and vanilla. Set aside.
Pop open crescent roll dough and unroll on an ungreased baking sheet, lined with parchment paper, leaving crescents in rectangles. Press edges together to even out edges and seal any holes.
Cut 3/4 inch diagonal strips up each side of the dough.
Carefully spread cream cheese filling down the center of the dough to be about 2-3 inches wide. Fold the dough pieces up over filling alternating sides to get a braided pattern. You may have excess dough once you reach the end of the danish, so fold them in as best as you can.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until filling is set and crescent dough is golden in color. Cool before removing from baking sheet.
Once danish has cooled, remove to serving platter.
In a small bowl, mix together powdered sugar, cream cheese, and milk to create icing. You may need to add more cream to get the desired consistency.
Drizzle icing over danish. Cut into pieces and serve.

Gluten Free Hamburger Buns

2/14/2019

This was my first time using coconut flour. It makes a nice hearty bun that can hold up to what ever you use to fill it. Tonight I filled mine with a Cooked Chicken Breast and Sharp Cheddar Cheese and it was delightful! The bun held up nicely and only started to crumble a little towards the last couple of bites.

INGREDIENTS
1 1/4 cup coconut flour
1 tbsp. baking powder
1 tsp. Kosher salt
6 eggs
1/2 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp. water

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Add coconut flour, baking powder, and kosher salt to a medium mixing bowl. Mix until combined.
Add the eggs, olive oil, and water to the dry ingredients.
Mix well and let sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the dry ingredients to soak up the wet ingredients.
Divide dough into 5-6 equal parts (5 for larger buns and 6 for smaller buns). Dough is very wet, but not sticky.
Quickly form bun shapes from the dough and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This is where you can add your toppings (optional). For these I used Trader Joe’s “Everything but the Bagel” seasoning.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes at 325 degrees.
Using a knife, slice the buns in half horizontally.

Yields: 5-6 buns
