Method

Mix and knead everything except the raisins into a smooth dough. Knead in the raisins at the end.
Cover and let rise until doubled.
Roll into one long rope, thicker in the middle. Coil from the thick end into a spiral and tuck the tail underneath.
Rest on a lined tray, then brush with egg wash.
Bake at 175 C (350 F) until deep golden, tenting with foil if it browns too quickly.

Notes

Dip apple slices in honey alongside it. Shana tova!
