   2             ounces  sugar -- approx 1/4 cup
   3             ounces  unsalted butter -- melted, approx 6 tablespoons
   6             ounces  buttermilk -- room temp
   20            ounces  all-purpose flour -- approx 4 cups
   2 1/4      teaspoons  instant yeast -- approx 1 package

   8             ounces  light brown sugar -- approx 1 cup packed
      1/2      teaspoon  ground rosemary
   3             ounces  raisins -- approx 3/4 cup
                         Coating:

For the dough: in the bowl of a stand mixer with the whisk 
attachment, whisk the egg yolks, whole egg, sugar, butter and 
buttermilk. Add approximately 2 cups of the flour along with the 
yeast and salt; whisk until moistened and combined. Remove the whisk 
attachment and replace with a dough hook. Add all but 3/4 cup of the 
remaining flour and knead on low speed for 5 minutes. Check the 
consistency of the dough and add more flour if necessary; the dough 
should feel soft and moist but not sticky. Knead on low speed 5 
minutes more or until the dough clears the sides of the bowl. Turn 
the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface; knead by hand 
about 30 seconds. Lightly oil a large bowl. Transfer the dough to the 
bowl, lightly oil the top of the dough, cover and let double in 
volume, 2 to 2 1/2 hours.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the 8 ounces of 
unsalted butter, brown sugar, rosemary, and raisins. Cook, stirring 
occasionally, until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved. 
Pour half of the topping into the bottom of 2 bundt pans and set 
aside. Cover and store the other half of the topping in the 
refrigerator until the next morning.

Place the melted butter and rosemary for the coating in a medium 
shallow bowl and stir to combine. Once the dough has risen, turn out 
onto a lightly floured surface. Portion the dough into 1-ounce 
pieces; roll each piece into a ball. (You should have approximately 
36 balls.) Roll the balls in the melted butter and rosemary.

Divide the balls evenly between the 2 bundt pans. Cover with plastic 
wrap and place in the refrigerator overnight or up to 16 hours.

Remove the bread from the refrigerator and place in an oven that is 
turned off. Fill a shallow pan 2/3-full of boiling water and set on 
the rack below the bread. Close the oven and let the bread rise until 
slightly puffy looking, 20 to 30 minutes. Once the bread has risen, 
remove it and the shallow pan of water from the oven.

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Once the oven is ready, place the bread on the middle rack and bake 
until slightly golden on top, approximately 25 to 30 minutes, or 
until the internal temperature reaches 190F on an instant-read thermometer.

Place the remaining topping in a small saucepan and set over medium 
heat. Reheat until the mixture is pourable, approximately 5 minutes. 
Fifteen minutes into baking, pour the remaining topping over the 
bread, and finish cooking. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then 
invert onto a platter or cutting board. Serve immediately.
