Ingredients for Yogurt Swirls with Raisins
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup sugar
- 2/3 cup lactose-free butter
- 3/4 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup 2% fat Greek yogurt (lactose-free)
- 1/4 cup lactose-free milk
- 2 eggs (medium)
- 2 tsp fresh yeast
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tsp lactose-free milk
Useful Tools for the Recipe
- Food Scale
- Kneading Board
- 2 Bowls
- Parchment Paper
- Spoon
- Small Pot
- Plastic Wrap
Preparation
In a bowl, mix the flour with the sugar (the dry ingredients).
In another bowl, mix the eggs, yogurt, milk, and melted butter (cooled slightly), mix well.
Add the yeast to the liquid mixture by crumbling it, stir until well dissolved.
Combine the liquid mixture with the flour and sugar, stir with a spoon, and as soon as it firms, transfer to the kneading board.
Now add the raisins and knead (using a little flour if needed) until you get a compact dough, form a ball, and put it in a bowl covered with plastic wrap to rise until doubled (about 4/5 hours).
Once risen, take the dough, divide it into 8 equal parts, form into ropes, and roll them to form the swirls.
Place the swirls to rise on the baking sheet (lined with parchment paper) for another 4 hours (approximately).
When it’s time to bake them (they will be nicely risen and puffed), take the baking sheet out of the oven, preheat it to 392°F (200°C), and bake once at temperature. Before baking, brush the swirls with milk and sprinkle with sugar, bake for 25 minutes.
YOGURT SWIRLS WITH RAISINS
Useful Information
Oven: I use a static electric oven. Storage: you can store the yogurt swirls with raisins in a freezer bag to keep them soft. You can warm them a few minutes in the oven on a baking pan with parchment paper before consuming.
What can I substitute for the raisins?
You can substitute the raisins with an equal amount of chopped toasted walnuts or the same amount of dark or milk chocolate pieces.
