Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.25 cup Sugar
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Milk (low-fat or whole)
- 1 cup Raisins
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Salt
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over low heat until it reaches about 110°F (43°C). Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar. Add the yeast to the mixture and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, the remaining sugar, and salt. Once the yeast is foamy, add the yeast mixture, melted unsalted butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
Use a wooden spoon or stand mixer with a dough hook to mix the ingredients until a sticky dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-7 minutes, either manually on a lightly floured surface or using the mixer on medium speed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Gently knead in the raisins by hand, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Lightly coat a large bowl with cooking spray and place the dough inside, turning it once to coat with a thin layer of oil. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough to release excess air. Turn it out onto a floured surface and divide it into 12 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced about 1 inch apart.
Cover the rolls with a damp cloth again and allow them to rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) while the rolls are rising.
Bake the rolls in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
Remove from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.
