Description
Raspberry Swirl Brioche Loaf is a buttery, soft bread swirled with tangy raspberry jam, making a delicious showpiece for breakfast, brunch, or tea time.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 2¼ tsp instant yeast
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup warm milk
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup raspberry jam
Optional glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
- Add eggs and warm milk, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead in softened butter gradually until dough is smooth and elastic.
- Cover and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Roll dough into a rectangle and spread raspberry jam evenly over the surface.
- Roll tightly into a log, then slice lengthwise and twist the two pieces together.
- Place in a greased loaf pan and let rise 20 minutes.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30–35 minutes until golden brown.
- Cool slightly before glazing or slicing.
- If glazing, whisk powdered sugar with milk until smooth and drizzle over cooled loaf.
Notes
- Brioché-style dough yields a tender, buttery crumb.
- Allow the dough to come to room temperature for easier handling.
- Best served the day it’s baked or toasted with butter.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute with plant-based butter and milk.
- Active dry yeast can be used in place of instant yeast—allow extra rising time.
