raisin bread muffins

Recipe by
Marion Wilting

Raisin bread is typical on a coffee table in the Munsterland in Northrhein-Westfalia. This is a picnic version, little muffin-shaped raisin breads. The original recipe uses rock sugar for the topping. If you can get it, use it instead of brown sugar, but brown sugar is quite nice, too. Prep. time includes rising time

How To Make raisin bread muffins

  • 1
    Warm 75 ml milk to lukewarm. Put the flour in a bowl and make a well. Crumble the yeast into it, add 1 tbsp sugar, pour the lukewarm milk over it and mix carefully with a little flour from the edge. Cover and leave to rise for 15 minutes. In the meantime, soak the raisins in lukewarm water.
  • 2
    Heat the remaining milk. Add to the pre-dough with the salt, remaining sugar, vanilla extract, butter and cinnamon and knead for approx. 5 minutes until smooth. Drain the sultanas well and knead in. Cover the dough and leave to rise in a warm place for approx. 30 minutes.
  • 3
    Grease 12 wells of a muffin tray, and spread the dough on them. Cover again and leave to rise for 15 minutes.

    Whisk together the egg yolk and milk. Brush the muffins with the mixture and sprinkle with brown sugar and flaked almonds. Bake in the preheated oven (top/bottom heat: 180 °C/fan oven: 160 °C) for approx. 20 minutes until golden brown. Remove and leave to cool. Serve with cream cheese and - preferably homemade - jam at a picnic.
