Instructions

Working time approx. 35 minutes; Rest time approx. 12 hours; Total time approx. 12 hours 35 minutes

Make a starter dough from flour, a portion of milk, yeast, and a teaspoon of sugar, and let it rise for about 15 minutes. Add the remaining ingredients and mix, cover with a cloth, and let it rise overnight in the refrigerator (use a large bowl, as the dough will triple in size). The next morning, add the eggs, butter, flour, salt, and raisins to the dough, knead well, and let it rise for 20 minutes. Form 20 rolls or 2 loaves and let it rise again on the baking sheet for 20 minutes. Then sprinkle generously with sugar, press the sugar in lightly, and repeat. Bake the rolls at 180°C (fan oven) for about 25 minutes; the loaves need 30-35 minutes.
