- 1 sheet of food gelatin

Steps:

1/ Dissolve yeast with 2 teaspoons of sugar and warm milk, then let rise 10 minutes.

2/ In a bowl, mix the flour and butter with your fingertips, until you obtain a crumbled mixture. Add spices (cinnamon, ginger), remaining sugar, raisins and egg. Mix well. Make a hole in the center and slowly add the milk and yeast mixture.

3/ Knead the dough by hand, on a floured surface, for several minutes or by the robot, in order to obtain an elastic paste that no longer sticks to the fingers.

4/ In a warm place, let the dough rise (in a lightly oiled salad bowl and covered with a clean cloth) for at least 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

5/ Divide the dough into 12 balls. Place them in a rectangular baking dish, or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

6/ Do not squeeze the balls of pasta against each other, space them a little because they are still inflated to stick themselves to each other. Let rise, covering with a clean cloth, in a warm place for another 30 minutes. (The balls must then stand to each other).

7/ Preheat your oven to 200°C.

8/ In a bowl, mix the flour and water to obtain a smooth dough (add a little flour if it is too liquid). Using a piping bag, draw a cross on each ball.

9/ Bake 35 minutes, watching the end of cooking.
