Ingredients
  

Dough Ingredients
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour Replace 1 cup with bread flour for a lighter texture.
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 1 cup whole milk, warmed About 100-110°F (38-43°C).

  • 3 large eggs Room temperature.

  • 1 cup raspberry jam Or roughly 1 cup of fresh raspberries cooked down with a tablespoon of sugar.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bloom the yeast by stirring warm milk with sugar in a large bowl. Sprinkle the yeast on top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In another bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  3. Add melted butter and eggs to the yeast mixture. Stir to combine, then gradually mix in the flour until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1-2 hours until doubled.
Shaping and Baking
  1. On a floured surface, roll the dough into a 12x16-inch rectangle. Spread raspberry jam evenly, leaving a small border.
  2. Roll the dough from the long side into a firm log and place seam-side down in a greased loaf pan.
  3. Cover and let rise for 30-45 minutes until puffy.
  4. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Optionally brush with egg wash for a glossy crust.
  5. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature registers 190-200°F (88-93°C).
  6. Remove from pan and cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.
