Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Xanthan gum
- 7 grams Instant yeast
- 200 grams Unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 50 grams Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 200 milliliters Milk, warm
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 100 grams Raisins
- 200 grams Pastry cream
- 2 tablespoons Apricot jam
- 1 large Egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free flour and xanthan gum. Add the cold cubed butter and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Stir in the yeast, sugar, and salt. Make a well in the center and pour in the warm milk, beaten egg, and vanilla extract. Mix until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently knead until smooth. Wrap it in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.
Once chilled, roll out the dough into a large rectangle, about 1/2 cm thick.
Spread the pastry cream evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the raisins evenly over the pastry cream.
Starting from the longer side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Seal the edge to prevent it from unraveling.
Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into 8 equal slices and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Cover the slices loosely with a damp cloth and let them rise in a warm place for about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake the Pain aux Raisins for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
In a small saucepan, heat the apricot jam with a tablespoon of water until smooth. Brush this glaze over the warm pastries.
Allow the Pain aux Raisins to cool slightly before serving.
