Description
A delightful Raspberry Swirl Brioche Loaf recipe that combines the richness of brioche with the tartness of fresh raspberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar, divided
- 4 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons raspberry jam
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the remaining sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add the yeast mixture and mix until combined.
- Gradually add flour and salt, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Incorporate the softened butter, kneading until fully combined.
- Place the dough in 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.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the raspberry swirl by combining raspberries, raspberry jam, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes until the raspberries break down. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Spread the raspberry mixture evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log, pinching the seams to seal. Place the log seam-side down in a greased loaf pan.
- Cover the loaf with a kitchen towel and let it rise again for about 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Bake the loaf for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, try adding a teaspoon of almond extract to the dough.
- You can substitute the raspberries with blueberries or strawberries for a different fruit swirl.
