Directions
Step 1
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Mix well.
Step 2
Step 2: Slice 100 grams of unsalted butter into small cubes and incorporate them into the flour mixture, rubbing them in with your fingertips until it resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4
Step 4: Add the activated yeast mixture, egg, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture. Stir until a dough forms.

Step 6
Step 6: While waiting, soften the remaining 50 grams of butter. Once the dough is ready, roll it out into a large rectangle approximately 5mm thick.
Step 7
Step 7: Spread the softened butter evenly over the dough's surface, sprinkle the cinnamon evenly, followed by the raisins, ensuring they're distributed well.
