Step 1:
How to make vanilla crackers with raisins? Prepare the products. Flour may need more or less than the specified amount, you will look at the consistency of the dough. Take the best quality oil, natural, without vegetable fats. Milk is suitable for any fat content, raisins without seeds. You can replace fresh yeast with dry yeast.
Step 2:
First of all, prepare the sourdough. How to make sourdough? To do this, dilute the yeast in warm milk, add 1 tablespoon of sugar from the total amount. Stir well. The milk should be pleasant to the touch, no higher than 40 degrees. Why is this important? In a warm environment, yeast is well activated, in a hot one it will die, and in a cold one it simply will not work.
Step 3:
Add 150 g of flour. Stir until smooth. The sourdough is ready. Remove it in a warm place to rise for 30-40 minutes. The sourdough should increase 2-3 times during this time.
Step 4:
Melt the butter in any way convenient for you. Cool it and mix it with sugar and egg.
Step 5:
Add the cream mixture and vanilla tincture (or vanilla sugar) to the approaching sourdough. Mix it up.
Step 6:
Gradually adding flour, knead the dough. It is better to pre—sift the flour - this will not only remove possible debris from it, but also saturate it with oxygen, which will make the baking more airy.
Step 7:
Knead a soft elastic dough. Send the finished dough to a warm place to rise for 40-60 minutes. The dough should increase 2-3 times during this time.
Step 8:
Prepare the raisins. How to steam raisins correctly? Pour well-washed raisins with hot water and leave for 10-15 minutes. During this time, it will become soft. Drain the water and dry it with paper towels. Add the prepared raisins to the dough that has come up and mix it into the dough.
Step 9:
Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rest for 20 minutes.
Step 10:
After resting, divide the dough into 3 equal parts and form bars from them. Put them on a baking sheet covered with baking paper and let them rest for 30 minutes.
Step 11:
Grease the loaves that have come up with beaten egg. Bake them in preheated to 190°In the oven for about 25 minutes until browning.
Step 12:
Let the finished bars cool completely. Already in this form, baking turns out very tasty. To prepare the crackers, let the bars stand for 12 hours, but if there is not that much time, then at least 3-4 hours, otherwise they will crumble very much when sliced.
Step 13:
Cut the loaves into slices about 1 cm thick.
Step 14:
Put them on a baking sheet in one layer.
Step 15:
Dry the crackers at 180 ° C until golden, if necessary, turn the slices over and dry on the other side. They dry very quickly, so don't forget to watch out.
Step 16:
Bon appetit!

I would advise baking loaves in the evening and drying crackers in the morning. During the night, the bars will lie down and will not crumble so much when sliced. In addition to raisins, you can add nuts, candied fruits, for flavor — a little zest, or maybe add nothing at all, then vanilla crackers will turn out.

Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

Butter can be melted in the microwave or in a water bath. How to melt butter in the microwave? Cut the butter into small pieces and place it in a special container. To prevent the oil from splashing when heated, cover the oil vessel with a paper towel. The oil should be melted either at the lowest power or in defrosting mode. At first, five seconds will be enough. Next, if the butter has not melted yet, set it again for 5 seconds and start the microwave. Repeat the process several times until the desired result.
How to melt butter in a water bath? You will need two containers of different diameters. Pour water into a large one and put it on the stove. Place the smaller container on top so that it is submerged in water by about half. Put the sliced butter into it. Under the influence of boiling water, the oil will begin to melt. Stir the oil slightly to speed up the process. As soon as the pieces of oil are completely dissolved, remove the container from the stove.
