Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup raspberry jam or preserves
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk and mix with yeast and 1 tsp of sugar. Let sit until foamy.
  2. Whisk in eggs and vanilla extract.
  3. In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt.
  4. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until a dough forms.
  5. Knead dough, gradually adding softened butter, until smooth and elastic.
  6. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 to 1.5 hours).
  7. Punch down dough and roll into a rectangle.
  8. Spread raspberry jam over the dough and sprinkle with raspberries and lemon juice. Press gently.
  9. Roll dough into a tight log and place into a greased loaf pan.
  10. Let rise again until puffy (about 45-60 minutes).
  11. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 35–40 minutes or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  12. Cool completely before slicing to set the swirl.

Notes

  • Swap raspberry jam for strawberry or blackberry for variation.
  • Sprinkle white chocolate chips over the filling for added richness.
  • Dust with powdered sugar after cooling for a finishing touch.
  • Dough can be chilled overnight after the first rise.
  • Use a thermometer — loaf is done when internal temp reaches 190°F (88°C).
