The recipe for Danish swivels
Ingredients

100 g of sugar
80 g of extra virgin olive oil
1 egg
1 brewer's yeast and 1 bag of vanillin
700 g of 00 flour
For the filling
300 ml of milk
80 g of sugar
25 g of corn starch
1 egg
150 g of raisins
grated lemon peel
Method
The first thing to do is to melt the yeast (already crumbled) in a bowl with the milk quite warm and add it to the mixture sugar, extra virgin olive oil and vanillin, stirring vigorously. When all the ingredients are well blended, add the flour, slowly, avoiding the formation of lumps in the dough. After working the mixture by hand, place it in a container and cover it with film and let it rest for an hour.
While the dough for the Danish swivels rise it can proceed with the preparation of the cream. Start by heating the milk and adding the peel of the lemon grated. In another bowl you have to incorporate the sugar, thecornstarch and the egg, in this precise order. After carefully mixing the mixture, add the still lukewarm milk (after removing the lemon peel residues) and mix everything with a kitchen whisk to eliminate lumps. Bring the mixture to a boil and turn off the heat only when it is thick.
At this point you can start the preparation of Brioches. You need to spread the dough on a work surface and give it one rectangular shape not too thick (about 60mm). Then pour the cream (still hot) on the dough and arrange the raisins trying to cover the whole area. With the help of baking paper, roll up the mixture to obtain one big swivel and then with a knife cut slices of about 3 cm from these, placing them on a baking sheet. Before putting them in the oven they must be left to rise for at least an hour and a half, covered with plastic wrap or with a blanket.
Then cook the Danish swivels in oven for about 25 minutes at 175 ° and let them cool before serving.
