Description

A delightful and fluffy brioche loaf swirled with sweet-tart raspberry jam, evoking childhood memories and perfect for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam

Instructions

  1. Activate the yeast: In a small bowl, combine the warm milk and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.
  3. Combine wet and dry: Whisk in the melted butter and eggs into the yeast mixture, then pour into the dry ingredients and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough: Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. First rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
  6. Roll it out: Roll the dough into a rectangle about 12×18 inches.
  7. Add the jam: Spread raspberry jam evenly over the dough with a small border.
  8. Roll it up: Starting from one long side, roll tightly into a log and seal the seams.
  9. Shape the loaf: Cut the log in half lengthwise, twist the two strands, and place in a greased bread pan.
  10. Second rise: Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  11. Preheat and bake: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and center reaches 190°F (88°C).
  12. Cool and enjoy: Let cool for 10 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For additional flavors, consider mixing in nuts or using berry medley jam instead of raspberry.
