Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 7 grams Instant dry yeast
- 5 grams Salt
- 150 grams Unsalted butter
- 170 milliliters Whole milk
- 1 large Egg
- 5 milliliters Vanilla extract
- 5 grams Cinnamon
- 100 grams Raisins (unsweetened)
- 30 grams Honey
- 20 grams Rolled oats
Instructions
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Mix well.
Step 2: Slice 100 grams of unsalted butter into small cubes and incorporate them into the flour mixture, rubbing them in with your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3: Warm the milk gently until it's lukewarm. Dissolve the instant dry yeast in the milk and let it sit for 10 minutes to activate.
Step 4: Add the activated yeast mixture, egg, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.
Step 5: Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Form it into a ball, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
Step 6: While waiting, soften the remaining 50 grams of butter. Once the dough is ready, roll it out into a large rectangle approximately 5mm thick.
Step 7: Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough's surface, sprinkle the cinnamon evenly, followed by the raisins, ensuring they're distributed well.
Step 8: Roll the dough into a log starting from one long edge. Cut the log into 8 equal pieces and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Step 9: Allow the pastries to proof for another 30 minutes.
Step 10: Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F). Before baking, brush each pastry with some milk and sprinkle with rolled oats.
Step 11: Bake the pastries in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
Step 12: Once baked, remove from the oven and drizzle lightly with honey for added sweetness. Serve warm or at room temperature.
