Raisin Sweet rolls

This is your basic Sweet Bread dough recipe with raisins! As you can tell Raisins are my favorite when it comes to bread. You can also try red bean paste filling or sprinkle toasted almonds slices on top of a sticky honey glaze. I also tried added green tea powder and it gives the bread a nice green color. Again, this recipe was adjusted to fit my 1lb bread maker.

For 1lb bread machine

• 1 and 3/4 cup plus 5 tsp of bread flour
• 1/4 cup of soya flour
• 1 tsp of vital wheat gluten
• 3 tbsp of sugar
• 1/3 tsp of salt
• 110ml of milk (I use 2%)
• 1 tbsp of butter
• 1 large egg
• 1.5 tsp of yeast

1. If you have a dough setting option on your bread machine, then add your ingredients accordingly and have the machine mix the dough for you.
2. Once done, you dough should be elastic when stretching a pinch of dough. It should form a thin long membrane just before breaking.
3. Generously oil a metal bowl put the dough inside. Then flip the dough so that the oiled side of the dough would be facing up. This ensures that the whole dough is oiled so it can keep in the moisture.
4. Cover the dough with pastic warm and prove the dough for 60-90 minutes.
5. Punch the dough down to release the gas and divide according to the size of buns or rolls you want. For the 1lb, I usually make about 3 mini buns and 2 rolls.
6. Rest the dough for 5 minutes before shaping
7. After shaping, place the dough in a pan and allow second rising for 35 minutes or until double in size
8. Brush the tops with 1 egg and 1 tsp of water
9. Bake at 356 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden.
10. Just before I remove from the oven, I brushed on a glaze made out of 1 tsp of honey and 1 tsp of water.
