Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams all-purpose flour
- 115 grams coconut oil
- 125 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 7 grams active dry yeast
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 100 grams raisins
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons water
- 50 grams powdered sugar
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm almond milk (ensure it's not hot to touch) and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeasty almond milk mixture and vanilla extract. Stir until a dough begins to form.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place it back in the bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
While the dough rises, prepare the filling: in a small saucepan over medium heat, combine raisins, water, and cornstarch. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the mixture thickens. Stir in cinnamon and set aside to cool.
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
Spread the cooled raisin mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough.
Gently roll the dough into a log starting from a long side, then slice into 8 equal pieces.
Place each piece on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced apart. Cover lightly and let rise for another 20 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Melt the coconut oil and brush it over each Danish for a golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown.
While the pastries are baking, mix the powdered sugar with a small amount of water to make a glaze.
Once the Danish pastries are out of the oven, allow them to cool for 5 minutes before drizzling with the sugar glaze.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your dairy-free raisin Danish!
