Cinnamon Swirl Pain au Raisin
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 package (1/4 ounce) active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm water (110° to 115°)
- 1/2 cup warm 2% milk (110° to 115°)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 2 to 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 tablespoon 2% milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. In a large bowl, combine the warm milk, granulated sugar, butter, salt, egg, yeast mixture and 2 cups flour; beat on medium speed until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
- Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Punch down dough. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; roll into a 12x10-in. rectangle. Combine brown sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough to within 1/2 in. of edges. Sprinkle with raisins and walnuts. Roll up jelly-roll style, starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal. Cut into 12 slices.
- Place cut side down in a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 375°.
- Bake 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
- In a small bowl, combine confectioners' sugar, milk and vanilla; drizzle over rolls.
