Equipment

  • Stand Mixer
  • loaf pan

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ¼ teaspoon active dry yeast

Wet Ingredients

  • ¾ cup whole milk, warm
  • 3 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened

Filling and Toppings

  • ½ cup raspberry jam or preserves

  • ½ cup powdered sugar optional glaze
  • 1–2 tablespoon milk optional glaze
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract optional glaze

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Activate the yeast by mixing it into warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let sit until foamy, 5–10 minutes.
  • In a bowl or stand mixer, combine flour, sugar, salt, eggs, and yeast mixture. Mix until dough forms.
  • Add softened butter gradually, kneading until dough is smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes in mixer).
  • Cover and let rise in a warm place for 1.5 to 2 hours, until doubled in size.
  • Roll dough into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread raspberry jam evenly, leaving a small border. Sprinkle crushed raspberries if using.
  • Roll up tightly from one long side, then slice the roll lengthwise down the middle.
  • Twist the halves together, cut sides facing up, and place in a greased loaf pan.
  • Cover and let rise again for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush loaf with egg wash.
  • Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden and cooked through.

Notes

Swap raspberry jam for other flavors like blueberry, strawberry, or lemon curd. Add a layer of cream cheese under the jam for richness. Top with sliced almonds or pearl sugar before baking for added texture. Freeze well-wrapped loaf for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before serving. Reheat slices briefly in microwave or toaster for best texture.
