Raspberry swirl brioche loaf is a soft, buttery bread filled with a tangy-sweet raspberry filling. It’s beautifully twisted for a marbled effect and perfect for brunch, gifting, or enjoying with tea. Each slice is rich, tender, and bursting with berry flavor.

Ingredients

  • 3 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp instant yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup whole milk (warm)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (softened, cut into pieces)
  • 1 1/2 cups raspberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp milk (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  2. Add eggs and warm milk. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Knead in butter, one piece at a time, until smooth and elastic (about 10 minutes by stand mixer or 15 minutes by hand).
  4. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1–2 hours.
  5. Meanwhile, make the raspberry filling by cooking raspberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch in a saucepan until thick. Stir in vanilla if using. Let cool completely.
  6. Once risen, roll dough into a rectangle on a floured surface.
  7. Spread raspberry filling over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  8. Roll up tightly from the long side to form a log.
  9. Slice the log lengthwise and twist the halves together with the filling facing up.
  10. Place the twisted loaf into a greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise again for 45 minutes.
  11. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Brush loaf with egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp milk).
  12. Bake for 35–40 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  13. Let cool before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use raspberry jam instead of fresh filling for convenience—just ensure it’s thick.
  • For a raspberry cheesecake twist, add a layer of sweetened cream cheese with the raspberry filling.
  • A lemon glaze made with powdered sugar and lemon juice adds sweetness and shine.
  • White chocolate chips make a delicious addition to the filling.
  • Dough can be made the night before and refrigerated for a slow rise.
