This Raspberry Swirl Brioche Loaf is the perfect balance between soft, rich brioche and a fruity raspberry swirl. Ideal for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, it’s elegant, fluffy, and visually stunning. The buttery dough complements the sweet-tart raspberry filling, making each slice irresistibly tender and flavorful.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 ¼ tsp instant yeast (1 packet)
  • ¾ cup whole milk, lukewarm
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • ½–⅔ cup raspberry jam or preserves
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp milk (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
  2. Add lukewarm milk and eggs. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Gradually add the softened butter, one tablespoon at a time, kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic. Knead for 8–10 minutes using a stand mixer or by hand.
  4. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1½ to 2 hours.
  5. After the first rise, gently punch down the dough. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour (optional, for easier shaping).
  6. Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle, about 12×16 inches.
  7. Spread raspberry jam evenly over the surface, leaving a ½-inch border on all sides.
  8. Roll the dough tightly from the long side to form a log. Pinch the seam to seal.
  9. Use a sharp knife to slice the log lengthwise. Twist the two halves together, keeping the cut sides facing up.
  10. Carefully transfer the twisted dough into a greased 9×5-inch loaf pan. Cover and let it rise for 45 minutes until puffy.
  11. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  12. Whisk the egg and milk to make the egg wash. Brush it gently over the loaf.
  13. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden brown on top and fully baked through.
  14. Let the loaf cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

For a more intense raspberry flavor, swirl in fresh zest or a touch of vanilla with the jam.

You may substitute raspberry jam with other thick fruit preserves like strawberry or blueberry.

If using fresh fruit purée, thicken it with cornstarch to prevent sogginess.
