Ingredients

• ✓ yeast
• white sugar
• water
• cinnamon
• egg
• applesauce
• salt
• all-purpose flour
• honey
• raisin

Instructions

1. 1 Stir 1 tablespoon of the sugar and the yeast into the warm water in a small bowl. The water should be no more than 100 degrees F (40 degrees C). Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam. Whisk together the cinnamon and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl; set aside.
2. 2 Beat together the eggs, applesauce, salt, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of sugar in a large bowl. Stir in the yeast mixture. Beat in half of the flour mixture until no dry spots remain. Stir in the remaining flour, a 1/2 cup at a time, mixing well after each addition to form a sticky dough. Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until fairly smooth but still sticky, about 8 minutes.
3. 3 Lightly oil a large bowl, then place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a light cloth and let rise in a warm place (80 to 95 degrees F (27 to 35 degrees C)) for 30 minutes. Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan.
4. 4 Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the dough into a 16x20 inch rectangle. Spread the honey over the dough; sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar and raisins. Beginning with the long side, roll the dough tightly into a log shape, and pinch to seal the seam. Cut into 12 equal size pieces. Place the rolls into the prepared pan cut side up. Cover the pan with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 30 minutes.
5. 5 Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2. 2 To make the bread: combine warm water and yeast in a large bowl; let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
3. 3 Mix in 2 cups flour, milk, 3/8 cup sugar, ⅓ cup melted butter, egg, and salt until combined.
4. 4 Gradually mix in remaining 2 cups flour and ½ teaspoon cinnamon until dough comes together.
5. 5 Turn dough out onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, 6 to 8 minutes. Place in a large greased bowl; turn dough to coat.
6. 6 Cover; let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
7. 7 Meanwhile, make the topping: Beat ⅔ cup sugar and ½ cup butter in a medium bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
8. 8 Stir in 1 cup flour until a thick paste forms.
9. 9 Divide paste in half; place each half in separate bowls. Stir 2 teaspoons cinnamon into one half and vanilla extract into other half.
10. 10 Divide dough into 12 equal pieces; shape into balls and place 3 inches apart onto a greased cookie sheet.
11. 11 Divide each topping paste into 6 balls; pat each until flat. Place flattened topping circles onto dough balls, patting down lightly. Cut grooves in topping like a seashell using a knife.
12. 12 Cover; let dough balls rise until doubled in volume, about 45 minutes.
13. 13 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
14. 14 Bake in the preheated oven until lightly golden brown, about 20 minutes.

Ingredients

• ✓ yeast
• all-purpose flour
• white sugar
• salt
• butter
• milk
• egg
• lemon
• egg yolk
• water
• raspberry jam
• confectioners' sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Whisk together 4 cups flour, white sugar, yeast, and salt in a large bowl until well combined; set aside.
2. 2 Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Pour in milk and heat until warm, about 110 degrees F (43 degrees C).
3. 3 Place beaten eggs in a medium bowl. Gradually whisk in about 1/3 of the butter-milk mixture, then return egg mixture back into remaining butter-milk mixture in the saucepan. Stir in lemon zest. Pour mixture into flour mixture; stir until thoroughly combined.
4. 4 Mix in remaining 2 cups flour to make a soft dough; turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, 8 to 10 minutes. Place dough into an oiled bowl and turn dough to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Punch down dough and allow to rest for 10 more minutes.
5. 5 Divide dough in half and roll each half into a round ball. Roll out a ball on a floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Place a drinking glass face down into the center of the circle to prevent cutting dough too far into the center. Use a knife to cut dough into quarters, from the edge of the dough circle to the rim of the glass. Cut each quarter into 5 narrow wedge-shaped strips, leaving the center of dough uncut. Remove the drinking glass. There will be 20 narrow wedge-shaped strips surrounding the uncut center of dough.
6. 6 Pick up 2 adjacent strips and twist them together about 4 times; pinch the ends of the 2 pieces together at the top. Gently coil to form a rough flower shape. Arrange round into the middle of the circle, where the drinking glass was.
7. 7 Pick up 2 more adjacent strips; twist and pinch them as before and coil them into a rough round. Arrange a new petal next to the center rosette. Repeat with remaining 16 strips, twisting and pinching them in twos and coiling and arranging them into 8 more petals around the center rosette. The finished bread will have 9 petals surrounding the center round. Repeat steps with remaining dough ball to make 2 breads.
8. 8 Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper. Place shaped breads onto the prepared baking sheet, reshaping them into rounds if needed. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and place in a warm spot to rise until almost doubled, 30 to 45 minutes.
9. 9 Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Beat egg yolk with water in a small bowl until well mixed and brush over both breads.
10. 10 Bake in the preheated oven until breads are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Allow to cool.
11. 11 Use your fingers to gently deepen the indentations in the center of each petal, filling each with about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon raspberry jam.
12. 12 Mix together confectioners' sugar and lemon juice in a bowl to form a glaze; drizzle glaze in thin lines all over both breads. Allow glaze to set. To serve, pull petals apart.
