How to Make Raisin Vanilla Plaits

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 1 cup low-fat quark, 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 cups all-purpose flour and 2 teaspoons baking powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Stir in 1 cup raisins. Divide the dough into four equal portions.
  6. Divide each portion into three equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long, thin coil (about 12 inches long).
  7. Braid three coils together to form a plait. Repeat with the remaining dough.
  8. Place the plaits on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush with a simple glaze (e.g., milk or egg wash).
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
