Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1 cup Milk
- 0.25 cup Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 1 cup Raisins
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Milk (for brushing)
Instructions
Warm the milk and butter together in a small saucepan over low heat until the butter is melted. Let it cool to a lukewarm temperature.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of flour with the sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Pour the lukewarm milk mixture into the dry ingredients. Add the egg, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Mix well until combined.
Gradually add the remaining flour (about 2 cups) to form a soft dough. The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Incorporate the raisins into the dough during the final stages of kneading.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, turning once to coat the top. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm, draft-free area until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.
Punch down the dough to release the air. Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape each into a roll.
Place the rolls on a lined baking sheet, leaving room between each. Cover and let rise again until puffy, about 30 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) during the second rise.
Brush the tops of the rolls with the tablespoon of milk. This will give them a lovely golden color when baked.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your homemade raisin rolls fresh!
