Place shaped dough pieces 2 inches apart on parchment-lined baking sheets; cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. 4. Heat oven to 400°F Uncover the dough pieces and place a raisin at the center of each of the spirals. Lightly beat remaining egg with 1 tablespoon water and brush each bun with egg mixture.

Transfer buns to a wire rack and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
