In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and instant yeast.
In a small saucepan, heat the milk until warm but not hot. Remove from heat and add the butter, stirring until melted.
Add the warm milk mixture to the flour mixture along with the egg, vanilla extract, and salt.
Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the dough to release air, then roll it out into a rectangle about 30x25 cm.
In a small bowl, mix the stevia sweetener and ground cinnamon together.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-stevia mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, then scatter the raisins on top.
Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.
Slice the log into 8 equal pieces and place each piece cut-side up on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Cover with a cloth and let the pastries rise for another 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Brush the tops of the pastries with milk.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
