Tips:

  • Activate the yeast properly: Proof the yeast in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough. This will ensure that the yeast is active and will help the dough to rise properly.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic: This will help to develop the gluten in the dough, which will make the rolls light and fluffy.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size: This will give the yeast time to work and produce gas, which will help the rolls to rise.
  • Roll the dough out into a rectangle: This will make it easier to spread the filling evenly.
  • Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges: This will help to prevent the filling from leaking out while the rolls are baking.
  • Roll the dough up tightly, starting from the long side: This will help to keep the filling inside the rolls.
  • Cut the rolls into slices: Use a sharp knife to cut the rolls into even slices.
  • Place the rolls in a greased baking dish: This will help to prevent the rolls from sticking to the pan.
  • Let the rolls rise again until they have doubled in size: This will give the yeast time to work and produce gas, which will help the rolls to rise.
  • Bake the rolls in a preheated oven until they are golden brown: The baking time will vary depending on the size of the rolls.

Conclusion:

These raisin cinnamon rolls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of soft, fluffy rolls that are filled with sweet, gooey cinnamon and raisins.
