Dough and Filling

Method

Preparation and Baking

1

Make the Dough

In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. In a separate bowl, warm the milk and mix it with the softened butter and eggs. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry mixture and stir until a dough forms.

2

Knead the Dough

Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

3

Prepare the Filling

While the dough is rising, soak the raisins in warm water for about 15 minutes, then drain. Mix the raisins with cinnamon and vanilla extract.

4

Roll Out Dough

After the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.

5

Add Filling

Spread the raisin mixture evenly over the dough and roll it tightly into a log.

6

Cut and Shape

Cut the log into 1-inch thick slices and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

7

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

8

Bake

Bake the Pain Au Raisin for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.
