Ingredients
Scale
Dough:
- 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup warm milk (110°F)
- 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
Filling and Topping:
- 1 cup raspberry jam or preserves
- 1/4 cup fresh raspberries (optional)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Dough Preparation: In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and warm milk. Gradually add wet ingredients to dry and mix until a dough forms.
- Kneading and Rising: Knead in softened butter until fully incorporated and dough is smooth. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Assembly and Baking: Roll dough into a rectangle, spread raspberry jam, roll tightly into a log, place in a loaf pan, and let rise. Preheat oven to 350°F, brush with egg wash, and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown. Cool before slicing.
Notes
- Use seedless raspberry jam for a smoother swirl.
- For a richer loaf, substitute half the milk with heavy cream.
- Store leftovers wrapped tightly to maintain freshness.
