Tips

  • You can use up to a fourth of a cup of sugar if you want it sweeter.
  • For soaking raisins, alternatives to hot water and vanilla are spiced rum, apple juice, or vanilla chai tea.
  • If you use all-purpose flour, you might need a little more flour than if you use bread flour.
  • Washing the bowl with hot water helps the dough rise.
  • Sprinkling flour in the cinnamon sugar mixture helps the swirl not to separate when it bakes.
  • Pinching and tucking the sides and the seam at the bottom while rolling prevents separation during baking.
