Win Mother's Day brunch with this French-inspired pastry. Pillowy, 
buttery, and packed with brandy-soaked raisins, our Pain au Raisin 
Sweet Rolls make the perfect pièce de résistance. These rolls are 
inspired by the pain au raisins, a swirl of puff pastry filled with 
raisins and pastry cream. Adapted into a home baker-friendly recipe - 
we used brioche instead of laminated dough and our quick Frangipane 
instead of pastry cream - these rolls are Mother's Day brunch made easy.

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, 
combine warm milk, 1 tablespoon (12 grams) granulated sugar, and 
yeast. Let stand until mixture is foamy, about 10 minutes. Add 1 cup 
(125 grams) flour and eggs; beat at medium-low speed until mostly 
smooth, 2 to 3 minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. (Some small 
lumps remaining are OK.) Cover and let stand in a warm, draft-free 
place (75F/24C) until slightly puffed with small bubbles forming over 
top and at edges, 30 to 45 minutes.

Using the dough hook attachment, add salt, remaining 1 cup (125 
grams) flour, and remaining 2 1/2 tablespoons (30 grams) granulated 
sugar; beat at low speed just until combined. Increase mixer speed to 
medium, and beat until dough is elastic and quite smooth, 7 to 10 
minutes, stopping to scrape sides of bowl. Add softened butter, 1 
tablespoon (14 grams) at a time, letting each piece incorporate 
before adding the next. (Dough should pass the windowpane test; see 
PRO TIP.) Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, 
turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place 
(75F/24C) until doubled in size, 40 minutes to 1 hour.

On a lightly floured surface, turn out dough; fold dough 4 to 6 times 
to knock out air. Return dough to bowl; cover and refrigerate for at 
least 5 hours or up to 8 hours. (You can also do an overnight proof 
for a maximum of 12 hours. Make sure to place the dough in a large 
bowl, giving it room to grow.)

In a medium bowl, combine raisins and warm brandy; let soak for 20 minutes.

Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a pastry 
brush, coat 6 (3") copper soufflé molds* with melted butter, using 
vertical strokes up sides. Flour molds, shaking out excess. Place 
molds on prepared pan.

Turn out dough onto a heavily floured surface; lightly sprinkle top 
of dough with flour. Roll dough into a 16x10" rectangle. Using a 
small offset spatula, dot Frangipane onto dough; spread into an even 
layer, leaving a 1/2" border on one long side. Sprinkle soaked 
raisins over Frangipane. Starting with borderless long side, roll 
dough into a 16" log. Gently shape log with hands to right length and 
more even thickness, if necessary. Using a serrated knife dipped in 
flour, cut log into 6 (2 1/2" thick) slices, trimming ends if 
necessary. Place rolls, cut side down, in prepared molds. Loosely 
cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place (75F/24C) until dough 
springs back when touched, 20 to 35 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350F (180C).

In a small bowl, whisk together egg white and 1 tablespoon (15 grams) 
water. Using a pastry brush, brush egg wash onto top of rolls; 
sprinkle with pearl sugar.

Bake until golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted in 
center registers 190F (88C), 20 to 30 minutes. Let cool in molds for 
5 minutes. Carefully remove from molds, and place on a wire rack.

In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine preserves and remaining 1 
tablespoon (15 grams) water. Microwave on high in 10-second 
intervals, stirring between each, until melted. Pour mixture through 
a fine-mesh sieve; discard solids. Using a pastry brush, glaze top of 
rolls with apricot mixture. Serve warm.

Notes: *We used Mauviel M'Passion Mini Copper Souffllé Molds. This 
recipe also works in tall (2" high) 8 oz ramekins or jumbo muffin cups.

Pro Tip: Test the dough for proper gluten development. Pinch off 
(don't tear) a small piece of dough. Slowly pull dough out from 
center. If dough is ready, you will be able to stretch it until it's 
thin and translucent. If dough tears, it's not quite ready.

Frangipane: In a large bowl, whisk butter until creamy. Add all 
remaining ingredients, and whisk until well combined. Use 
immediately, or cover with a piece of plastic wrap, pressing wrap 
directly onto surface of paste to prevent a skin from forming. 
Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Microwave refrigerated Frangipane in 
5-second intervals just until spreadable.
