Description
A delicious Raspberry Swirl Brioche Loaf that combines the richness of brioche with the tartness of fresh raspberries.
Ingredients
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, eggs, vanilla extract, and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture and mix well.
- Gradually add flour, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- While the dough rises, prepare the raspberry filling by combining raspberries, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for about 5 minutes until the raspberries break down and the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and let cool.
- Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
- Spread the raspberry filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Roll the dough tightly into a log and place it seam-side down in a greased loaf pan.
- Cover with a kitchen towel and let it rise for another 30-45 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- 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.
- If fresh raspberries are unavailable, frozen raspberries can be used; just ensure to thaw and drain excess liquid before using.
