Instructions
Dough
Measure flour, eggs, butter and milk into a large bowl. Sprinkle yeast on top. Knead the mixture until a soft dough forms.
Cover top with the lid or a plastic wrap and place in a 68°F – 81°F /20°C – 27°C spot until it doubles for about 60 -90 minutes. Check out how to bake with fresh yeast.
Filling
With and electric whisk, cream butter, sweetener and cinnamon. Divide the filling by the number of dough we make.
Assembly
Halve the dough.
Roll one of the dough out on a mildly floured surface to ⅛” / 3mm thick, 17″ x 12″ / 45cm x 30cm rectangle. Flouring underneath the dough is important otherwise the dough will stick down and we can’t roll it up nicely.
Spread the buttery cinnamon filling on top.
Sprinkle raisins on top then roll the dough up. We may need to use a spatula to pry the dough up. Sprinkle flour under and over the spatula to make it easier to slide between the dough and the worktop.
Cut crosswise into 1″ / 2cm wide pieces. (Clean knife after each slice to make it easier to cut.)
Place the pieces onto a parchment lined baking tray. Chelsea buns can touch each other so don't need to leave big gaps between them.
Cover and at a 68°F – 81°F /20°C – 27°C spot let them rise for 45 – 60 minutes. Do the same with the other dough.
Once they doubled, whisk egg whites with water, optional honey or sweetener of choice and vanilla then brush the Chelsea buns.
Bake the Chelsea buns in a preheated 350°F / 180°C oven until golden brown, about 25 minutes.
