Equipment
- 1 mixing bowls
- 1 measuring cups and spoons
- 1 stand mixer or hand mixer
- 1 plastic wrap
- 1 loaf pan (9x5 inches)
- 1 rolling pin
- 1 baking parchment paper
- 1 pastry brush
Ingredients
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ½ cup whole milk warm
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup unsalted butter softened, cubed
- 1 cup raspberry preserves or fresh raspberries
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
- In a stand mixer bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, and salt. Gradually add the yeast mixture and eggs to the dry ingredients.
- Using the dough hook attachment, knead the dough on medium speed for about 5 minutes.
- Slowly incorporate the softened butter, a few cubes at a time, and continue kneading for another 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll it out into a rectangle about ½ inch thick.
- Spread the raspberry preserves evenly over the dough. If using fresh raspberries, gently mash them and spread them as well.
- Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
- Twist the dough log into a spiral and shape it into a loaf. Place it in a greased loaf pan.
- Cover the loaf with plastic wrap and let it rise again for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Once risen, bake the loaf for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Slice and serve the delicious Raspberry Swirl Brioche Loaf!
Notes
Ensure that the butter is at room temperature for easier incorporation.
For extra flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of lemon juice to the raspberry filling.
