“Me, I’m not so handy, but I do bake,” said Agatha in a “Season For Miracles” and “I brought you some breakfast rolls just out of the oven.”
Ingredients
- 3 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, divided
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 cup milk
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
- 1 egg, at room temperature
- ½ cup packed light brown sugar
- 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup chopped walnuts
- ½ cup raisins
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 4 teaspoons water, or more if needed
Instructions
- Combine 1 cup flour
- sugar
- yeast
- and salt in a mixing bowl.
- Heat milk and butter chunks in a saucepan over medium-low heat until butter has melted and mixture is 110 degrees F (43 degrees C)
- about 5 minutes.
- Pour warm milk mixture into the yeast mixture and beat for 2 minutes with an electric mixer. Add 1 cup flour and egg; beat for 2 minutes. Stir in 1 1/2 cups flour and knead until smooth. Knead for an additional 10 minutes
- gradually adding in remaining 1/4 cup flour. Shape dough into a ball.
- Grease a bowl and place dough inside. Turn dough over so the greased side is facing up
- cover
- and let rise until doubled in size
- about 1 hour.
- Punch down the dough and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile
- combine brown sugar and cinnamon in a small bowl. Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- Roll dough on a lightly floured surface to an 8×24-inch rectangle and spread with softened butter. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over top and then sprinkle with walnuts and raisins.
- Roll dough into a 24-inch log
- starting at the long edge closest to you. Slice log lengthwise down the middle
- making two 24-inch long strips of dough. Place dough strips next to each other with cut sides facing up. Press together one set of ends and twist strips around each other tightly
- keeping cut sides up. Pinch ends together to secure.
- Slice twisted log into 6 pieces and press ends together firmly. Place in the prepared baking pan and press down to ensure rolls are an even height. Cover and let rise until doubled in size
- about 45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
