Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ cup warm whole milk (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • ¾ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3 large eggs

Filling

  • ½ cup raspberry jam

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk, active dry yeast, and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes until frothy. Add the flour, granulated sugar, salt, eggs, and softened butter. Mix until a smooth, elastic dough forms. Knead by hand or with a stand mixer for 8 to 10 minutes until the dough is soft and slightly sticky.
  2. First Rise: Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a cloth or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 to 1.5 hours until it doubles in size.
  3. Roll and Swirl: After the dough has risen, gently deflate it and roll it out on a floured surface into a large rectangle. Spread a thin, even layer of raspberry jam over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Roll the dough tightly from one edge to the other, forming a log with the jam swirled inside.
  4. Shape and Second Rise: Place the rolled dough seam-side down into a greased loaf pan. Cover it again and let it rise for another 45 to 60 minutes until noticeably puffy.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaf for 30 to 35 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and the loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Cool the brioche in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for best dough consistency and rising.
  • Do not overload the dough with jam to avoid sogginess and difficulty handling.
  • Monitor the second rise carefully; it should be puffy but not overproofed to prevent collapse during baking.
  • Generously butter your loaf pan to prevent sticking and enhance crust flavor.
  • Allow the loaf to cool properly before slicing to ensure clean cuts and preserve the delicate crumb.
