Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup whole milk, warm
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for raspberry swirl)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.
  3. Add eggs and the yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Gradually add the softened butter, kneading until fully incorporated.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until doubled in size.
  7. Meanwhile, prepare the raspberry swirl: In a small saucepan, combine raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Cool completely.
  8. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
  9. Spread the cooled raspberry mixture evenly over the dough.
  10. Roll the dough tightly into a loaf and place it into a greased loaf pan.
  11. Cover and let it rise for another 45 minutes.
  12. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaf for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  13. Remove from oven and let cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

For an extra touch, brush the cooled loaf with a simple powdered sugar glaze or serve with whipped cream for a decadent treat.
