## Ingredients

- 0.75 cup Warm water
- 2.25 tsp Dry active yeast
- 0.75 cup Warm whole milk
- 3 tbsp Melted butter
- 3 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 3 tbsp Brown sugar
- 1 tbsp Cinnamon
- 1 cup Raisins
- Flour
- Olive oil
- Cornmeal

## Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Let stand for about 5 minutes until foamy.
2. Add warm milk, melted butter, all-purpose flour, salt, the remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, cinnamon, and raisins to the bowl.
3. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
4. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and gently work with your hands to bring the dough together and form a dough ball. Do not knead. Add more flour as needed if too sticky or 1 tablespoon warm water at a time if too crumbly and dry.
5. Transfer the dough to the same large mixing bowl, lightly oiled. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in a warm area for about 1 hour, until double in size.
6. Divide the dough into 8-9 equal pieces.
7. Lightly flour the sections and your hands as you fold and pinch into a secure ball.
8. Arrange dough pieces on a lined baking sheet and cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap to let rise another 30 minutes.
9. Place a lightly greased cast iron skillet over medium heat. Dip each side of the dough ball into a bowl of cornmeal.
10. Pan fry each side for 1-2 minutes until a golden brown crust forms.
11. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to ensure they are cooked all the way through.
