Spinkle on some raisins and continue to knead.
Cover and let it rest for about 10 minutes or so.
Once done, take the dough and split it into 12 pieces, equal in size. Put them in the casserole dish.
Grab a whisk and whisk the egg yolk and water to make the egg wash for the top. Brush on the rolls.
Put in the oven to bake for 20-25 minutes. Take out and let it cool on a wire rack.
Mix the vanilla, milk, and powdered sugar until smooth.
Put in a piping bag and snip the corner. Squeeze onto the tops to create the crosses.
