These Homemade Raisin Rolls, each weighing 120g, are a delightful treat perfect for those who enjoy the sweet and chewy texture of raisins in their bread. Made with high-quality bread flour, these rolls are soft and fluffy, enriched with the natural sweetness of black raisins. The dough, prepared with sugar, yeast, eggs, and milk, is kneaded thoroughly before butter and salt are added for extra flavor. After a resting period, the dough is divided, shaped into rolls, and left to rise. Once risen, they are brushed with egg and topped with a butter sauce, sunflower seeds, or an organic omega seed mix for a nutty crunch. These raisin rolls are then baked to golden perfection, making them an ideal choice for breakfast, snacks, or as an accompaniment to meals.
Why You'll Love This: The combination of the sweetness of raisins with the savory, buttery dough creates a delightful contrast. The addition of sunflower seeds or omega seed mix adds a nutritious crunch, making these rolls both delicious and wholesome.
