Description
A delightful brioche loaf infused with tangy raspberry jam, perfect for breakfast or a sweet snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1/2 cup whole milk, lukewarm
- 10 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Combine the warm milk, sugar, and yeast in a large mixing bowl. Let sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice until well combined.
- Add the flour and salt gradually, mixing until a rough dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Incorporate the softened butter, folding and kneading until fully incorporated.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-2 hours until doubled in size.
- Punch down the risen dough, then roll it out into a rectangle (about 12×18 inches).
- Spread the raspberry jam evenly across the dough, leaving about an inch from the edges.
- Roll the dough tightly from the long edge into a log, pinching the seams to seal.
- Place the loaf seam-side down in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let rise for another hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) about 20 minutes before baking.
- Brush the top of the loaf with the beaten egg for an egg wash.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
- Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a vegan version, use flax eggs, almond milk, and coconut oil.
