Ingredients
For the dough:
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ¾ cup warm milk (110°F/45°C)
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
For the filling:
- ¾ cup raisins (soaked in warm water for 10 minutes, then drained)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
For the glaze:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2-3 tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- Instructions
- Prepare the Dough:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, yeast, granulated sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Add the warm milk, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a soft dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. - First Rise:
Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size. - Shape the Rolls:
Punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle (about 12×8 inches). Sprinkle the raisins evenly over the surface, followed by the brown sugar and cinnamon. Roll the dough tightly from the longer side, then slice into 8-10 rolls. - Second Rise:
Place the rolls in a greased baking dish, leaving a little space between them. Cover and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy. - Bake:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the rolls for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Let them cool slightly. - Glaze and Serve:
In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the warm rolls. Serve and enjoy! - These Raisin Bread Rolls are perfect for sharing with family or friends, but don’t be surprised if you find yourself keeping them all to yourself!
