Ingredients

For dough

  • 1 ¾ cups/175 grams all-purpose flour or bread flour
  • 1½ tbsp powdered milk
  • ¾ tbsp sugar
  • 1 large egg half for the dough half for eggwash
  • 2 tsp active dry yeast or instant yeast
  • ¼ cup lukewarm water or milk
  • 1½ tbsp/15grams soften butter let butter soften in room temperature
  • ⅛ tsp salt

For filling

  • 2 tbsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

Instructions

Making the dough

  • If you are using dry active yeast, you need to activate by adding 1/4 cup of lukewarm water and set aside for 5 minutes or when bubbles form. If you are using instant yeast you can directly add to dry ingredients.
  • In a mixing bowl put bread flour, powdered milk, sugar and mix well together.
  • Add the egg and pour in the activated yeast into the dry ingredients.
  • Using a stand mixer with the hook attachment, mix everything at low speed until well incorporated and dough forms.. (Note: You can also use hand mixer or knead by hand).
  • Then add butter and salt and continue beating at low speed for 5 mins. When the butter is mixed well with the dough. Continue beating at medium speed until your dough becomes soft and elastic.
  • Removed dough from mixing bowl then place it in another bowl greased with cooking oil and let it rise for 1 hour or depending on the humidity.
  • When the dough doubled in size you know you achieved a good rise. Dump the dough on the table or counter and press lightly in the center to release the air/gas inside.

Assembly and baking

  • Lightly dust the worktable with some flour and transfer the dough. Roll the dough into a rectangle (approx 12in x 8in) with a rolling pin.
  • Brush the top with a thin layer of melted butter then add cinnamon powder.
  • Distribute raising evenly on top of the dough then do the same with the brown sugar. Roll the dough into a log and place it in a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise until double in size. Pre-heat oven at 160°C or 320°F.
  • When the dough has risen, brush with egg wash and bake in a preheated oven for 30 minutes at 160°C. Remove it from the oven and let it cool down before slicing. Bon Appetit!
