Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Combine warm milk with yeast, a tablespoon of sugar, and five tablespoons of flour. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Melt the butter and let it cool slightly.

Step 3

Using a mixer, combine 2 eggs with salt, the remaining sugar, and butter.

Step 4

Combine the egg mixture with the yeast dough and mix well.

Step 5

Gradually incorporate the remaining flour. The dough should be elastic and pull away from the sides of the mixing bowl.

Step 6

Cover the dough with plastic wrap and place it in a warm spot for 1.5 hours.

Step 7

Rinse the raisins, pat them dry with a paper towel, and toss them with a teaspoon of flour.

Step 8

Transfer the risen dough onto a floured work surface, add the raisins on top of the dough, and incorporate them into the dough. The raisins should be evenly distributed throughout the dough.

Step 9

Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces.

Step 10

Roll out a portion of the dough into a log, then cut it in half lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through on one side.

Step 11

Twist the resulting strands into a spiral and coil it into a snail shape. Repeat this process with the entire dough.

Step 12

Transfer the rolls to a baking sheet, cover them with a towel, and place them in a warm spot for another 30 minutes.

Step 13

Mix the remaining egg with a tablespoon of water, brush the rolls with the mixture, and place them in an oven preheated to 355°F for 20–25 minutes. Allow the baked rolls to cool.
