A wonderful baked treat for cozy tea gatherings. The airy, golden dough unexpectedly meets the sweetness of raisins. For an extra twist, you can add a bit of lemon zest or a couple of teaspoons of rum.
Ingredients
- Milk - 8 fl oz
- Butter - 2.8 oz
- Chicken Egg - 3 pieces
- Salt - a pinch
- Sugar - 5.3 oz
- Dry yeast - 0.2 oz
- Raisins - 5.3 oz
- Wheat Flour - 24.7 oz
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Combine warm milk with yeast, a tablespoon of sugar, and five tablespoons of flour. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.
Step 3
Using a mixer, combine 2 eggs with salt, the remaining sugar, and butter.
Step 4
Combine the egg mixture with the yeast dough and mix well.
Step 5
Gradually incorporate the remaining flour. The dough should be elastic and pull away from the sides of the mixing bowl.
Step 6
Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place it in a warm spot for 1.5 hours.
Step 7
Rinse the raisins, pat them dry with a paper towel, and toss them with a teaspoon of flour.
Step 8
Transfer the risen dough onto a floured work surface, add the raisins on top of the dough, and incorporate them into the dough. The raisins should be evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Step 9
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.
Step 10
Roll out a portion of the dough into a log, then cut it in half lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through on one side.
Step 11
Twist the resulting strands into a spiral and coil it into a snail shape. Repeat this process with the entire dough.
Step 12
Transfer the rolls to a baking sheet, cover them with a towel, and place them in a warm spot for another 30 minutes.
Step 13
Mix the remaining egg with a tablespoon of water, brush the rolls with the mixture, and place them in an oven preheated to 356°F for 20–25 minutes. Allow the baked rolls to cool.
