    • 1 cup packed brown cane sugar
    • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
    • 1 cup California Raisins

Instructions

Dough Preparation:

  1. In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast mixture, cane sugar, softened butter, salt, and eggs.
  3. Gradually add the flour, one cup at a time, until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface until it's smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise until doubled in size (approximately 1 hour).

Filling and Rolling:

  1. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a large rectangle.
  2. Spread melted butter over the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
  3. Mix brown cane sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle it evenly over the butter.
  4. Sprinkle California Raisins over the sugar-cinnamon mixture.
  5. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge, forming a log.

Cutting and Baking:

  1. Cut the log into equal-sized rolls and place them in a greased baking pan.
  2. Allow the rolls to rise for another 30 minutes.
  3. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  4. Bake the rolls for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
