Walnut & Raisin Rolls
3-1/2 cups bread flour
1-1/2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2-1/2 teaspoons instant yeast (available at gourmet food stores)
1 egg, beaten
1-1/3 cups whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup chopped walnuts
1/3 cup raisins
Cooking oil spray
2 eggs, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Softened butter for topping
3 tablespoons sugar mixed with 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
Sift flour. Use electric mixer to mix flour, salt, sugar and yeast until well-combined. Add beaten egg and milk; mix on low speed until smooth and springy. Add butter and shortening; mix on medium speed 8 minutes, until smooth. Add walnuts and raisins; mix on low speed 2 minutes. Let dough rest in a warm, draft-free area two hours.
Divide dough into 17 pieces and shape into rounds. Let rest 25 to 30 minutes.
Spray baking sheet with cooking spray. Shape dough into small loaves and place on baking sheet, allowing space for dough to rise. Let dough rest in warm, draft-free area 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 410 degrees. Use a sharp knife to make a slice lengthwise down center of each roll. Brush with egg wash. Place softened butter in a squeeze bottle or pastry bag and squeeze a line on top of each roll. Sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar mixture. Bake 12 to 13 minutes. Makes 17 to 18 rolls.
