Step 1
Sift the flour, add salt and yeast, mix. Pour in warm milk, add sugar, egg, softened butter and knead a tender dough. Let it rise in a warm place until it triples in volume. I knead the dough in a bread machine, but it also turns out great by hand.

Step 2
While the dough rises, let's prepare the filling. Peel the pears and cut them into cubes, soak the raisins in warm water, rinse and dry them. In a skillet melt the butter and add the pears and raisins. Add lemon juice and sugar; optionally you can add finely chopped ginger. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until golden and the excess liquid evaporates. Then let the filling cool.
