Gluten-free brioche are small sweet buns flavored with cinnamon and citrus, made with olive oil. These brioche can be enriched with raisins for added softness, or chocolate chips, or even filled with creams or jams. Also try the gluten-free cream brioche. Naturally, they can also be made lactose-free by replacing milk with water or an unsweetened plant-based beverage.

Take pieces of dough weighing 1.7 oz (50 g) each, cover with plastic wrap.
Take the first piece, stretch it slightly with your hands, roll it up to form a small brioche. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining dough. Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place at 75°F (24°C) for about an hour, they should double.

FAQ (Questions and Answers)
Can I make gluten-free brioche also lactose-free?
Of course, you can replace milk with water or an unsweetened plant-based beverage in the same amount.
Can I replace extra virgin olive oil?
Any vegetable oil is fine, such as rice, sunflower seed, or corn oil. Extra virgin olive oil will have a more intense flavor. You can also choose to use butter, in which case it will be 7 oz (100 g).
