Pain au Raisin with Icing Drizzle
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups of warm milk
- 1/4 cup of white sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons of active dry yeast
- 4 cups of all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup of raisins
- 1/4 cup of brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup of powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon of milk
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine 1/4 cup of white sugar and 1 1/4 cups of warm milk. Sprinkle the yeast over the mixture and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large bowl, mix 4 cups of flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add the yeast mixture and mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, then place it in a greased bowl, cover with a towel, and let it rise for 1 hour in a warm place.
- In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup of brown sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Set aside.
- Roll out the dough into a 16x10 inch rectangle. Spread 1/2 cup of softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture and 1/2 cup of raisins evenly over the buttered dough.
- Starting from the long edge, roll the dough into a log and cut it into 12 equal pieces. Place the pieces on a greased baking sheet, cover with a towel, and let them rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the pain au raisin for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While the pain au raisin is cooling, mix 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 1 tablespoon of milk to make the icing drizzle. Drizzle the icing over the cooled pastries and enjoy!
