Description

A soft and buttery brioche loaf swirled with vibrant raspberry jam. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet afternoon treat.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2¼ teaspoons instant yeast
  • ½ cup whole milk, warm
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup raspberry jam
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan.
  2. In a stand mixer bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, warm milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix on low speed.
  5. Add softened butter a little at a time and mix until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
  6. Transfer dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1½ to 2 hours until doubled.
  7. Roll dough into a rectangle and spread raspberry jam evenly over the surface.
  8. Roll dough into a log, slice it lengthwise, and twist both halves together cut-side up.
  9. Place twisted dough into the prepared loaf pan and let rise again for 45 minutes.
  10. Brush with beaten egg if desired and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown.
  11. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use thick, high-quality jam to prevent leaking during baking.
  • Chilling the dough before shaping makes it easier to handle.
  • For extra sweetness, drizzle with glaze once cooled.
  • Store in an airtight container to keep it soft for several days.
