Raspberry Swirl Brioche Loaf is a rich, buttery bread filled with a vibrant raspberry ribbon. With its soft texture and beautiful twist design, this loaf is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a sweet snack.

Ingredients

  • For the brioche dough:
  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 3/4 cup warm whole milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • For the raspberry filling:
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • For the egg wash:
  • 1 egg, beaten with 1 tsp water

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, activate yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let sit until foamy (5–10 minutes).
  2. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Mix in yeast mixture and eggs until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead in softened butter gradually until dough is smooth and elastic (10–15 minutes). Cover and let rise until doubled (1–2 hours).
  4. Meanwhile, make the filling: In a saucepan, cook raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch until thickened. Stir in vanilla and let cool.
  5. Roll out dough into a rectangle. Spread cooled filling evenly, leaving a border around the edges.
  6. Roll the dough tightly from the long edge. Slice lengthwise and twist the two halves, keeping the cut sides facing up.
  7. Place the twist into a greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise again for 45–60 minutes.
  8. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush top with egg wash.
  9. Bake for 35–40 minutes, until golden brown and internal temp is around 190°F (88°C).
  10. Cool in pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire rack. Let cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use blueberries, blackberries, or strawberries for variation.
  • Add citrus zest to the dough for extra flavor.
  • Mix in white chocolate chips or a dash of cinnamon to the filling for a twist.
  • Dough can rise overnight in the fridge for better flavor.
  • Frozen raspberries work well—no need to thaw.
