I’m sure you figured out – in the meantime – that my better half & I spent some weeks in Mallorca. We had a great time & made lots of excursions … there is a lot to be posted. However, there were some baking adventures before we made our Mallorca stay.
So …
You remember: my better half & I had a splendid fortnight in the Netherlands, in Zandvoort. In the morning we sat at our table in front of the windowed wall watching the sky & the sun & sea & beach … when we had breakfast. For breakfast we liked these sweet buns w/ lots of raisins you only can buy in the Netherlands. (I knew from former trips to the Durch coast.)
I like these soft buns w/ the raisins which you may eat pure or w/ a little butter, maybe salted butter.
When back home I thought about baking some of these … At our trusted bakery – of course – you get sweet buns w/ raisins, but there are only very few raisins inside compared to the Dutch version. So I roamed the food blog universe & found a promising recipe at Lisbeths.
I adjusted the quantities, because the 2 of us would be happy w/ 6 buns … & I was generous w/ the amount of raisins. (Maybe I was a little too generous …)
When the buns left the oven they looked marvelous & we had them half-warm w/ salted butter. Just delicious!
Next morning the buns had got somewhat dry & dense … we just put them into the toaster & they were fine again. (Nevertheless I’ll reconsider my approach, the rising times & the amount of raisins …)
What do we need?
- flour
- dry yeast
- vanilla sugar
- milk
- butter
- an egg.
… & on top we need some more milk & an egg yolk for brushing the buns.
We mix all the dry ingredients.
We melt the butter & mix the molten butter w/ the egg & the milk. Then we combine it & knead it. Finally the raisins are folded in & we form a ball.
We cover the bowl w/ a tea towel & put it in the oven for about 45 min. We start the heating at 50° C for about 2-3 min – then stop the heating. It will be nicely warm for the dough to rise. (Compare the last photo above w/ the 1st photo below!)
We form a roll & cut it into 6 pieces. Each gets a place on a baking tray lined w/ baking parchment.
… & we repreat: heat the oven for 2-3 min at 50° C, then stop the heating & let the buns rest in the warm oven for about 20 min.
Finally we whisk the milk & the egg yolk & brush the mix generously all over the buns.
The oven is preheated now to 160° C fan & the buns will enjoy baking for about 15 min.
Enjoy!
