Ingredients

• 300 g All-purpose flour
• 50 g Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 7 g Instant yeast
• 150 ml Milk
• 50 g Unsalted butter
• 1 large Egg
• 80 g Brown sugar
• 2 tsp Ground cinnamon
• 80 g Raisins
• 100 g Powdered sugar
• 2 tbsp Water

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast.

Step 2

Gently warm the milk and unsalted butter in a saucepan until the butter melts. Do not let it get too hot.

Step 3

Add the milk and butter mixture, along with a beaten egg, to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 6

For the filling, mix together brown sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle approximately 25x40 cm.

Step 8

Evenly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the dough, then scatter raisins on top.

Step 9

Starting from one long edge, tightly roll the dough into a log, pinching the seam to seal.

Step 10

Slice the log into 10 equal pieces and place them in a greased baking pan, cut side up.

Step 11

Cover with a towel and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 13

Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until lightly golden brown.

Step 14

While the pastries are baking, prepare the icing by mixing powdered sugar and water until smooth.

Step 15

Allow pastries to cool slightly, then drizzle with icing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
