Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 125 grams unsalted butter
• 50 grams granulated sugar
• 100 milliliters milk
• 7 grams active dry yeast
• 1 large egg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 100 grams raisins
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 50 grams powdered sugar
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Warm 50ml of the milk until lukewarm and mix it with the granulated sugar and yeast. Let it stand for 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the frothy yeast mixture, the egg, the remaining milk, and the vanilla extract. Mix until a dough begins to form.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle a little more flour, but don't add too much.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a ball, place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Step 5

While the dough is rising, soak the raisins in warm water for 10 minutes, drain, and pat dry with a paper towel.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, roll it out into a large rectangle about 1 cm thick.

Step 7

Spread softened butter evenly over the rolled-out dough. Sprinkle the cinnamon and raisins across the entire surface.

Step 8

Starting from one of the longer edges, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Use a sharp knife to cut it into 8 equal pieces.

Step 9

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the rolled pieces cut-side down, slightly apart to allow room for rising.

Step 10

Cover the tray with a clean towel and let the pastries rise for another 30 minutes.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 12

While the pastries are baking, mix powdered sugar with water to make a glaze.

Step 13

Once the pastries are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle the glaze over the top before serving.
