Ingredients

• 250 grams Whole wheat flour
• 7 grams Instant yeast
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 100 grams Unsalted butter
• 120 milliliters Warm milk
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 80 grams Raisins
• 2 tablespoons Stevia sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Milk

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour and instant yeast.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat the milk until warm but not hot. Remove from heat and add the butter, stirring until melted.

Step 3

Add the warm milk mixture to the flour mixture along with the egg, vanilla extract, and salt.

Step 4

Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Punch down the dough to release air, then roll it out into a rectangle about 30x25 cm.

Step 7

In a small bowl, mix the stevia sweetener and ground cinnamon together.

Step 8

Sprinkle the cinnamon-stevia mixture evenly over the rolled-out dough, then scatter the raisins on top.

Step 9

Starting from one long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.

Step 10

Slice the log into 8 equal pieces and place each piece cut-side up on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 11

Cover with a cloth and let the pastries rise for another 20 minutes.

Step 12

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

Step 13

Brush the tops of the pastries with milk.

Step 14

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 15

Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack before serving.
