Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 3 whole eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk (plant-based alternative if desired)

Raspberry Swirl Filling

  • 3/4 cup raspberry preserves (natural)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (natural)
  • 1 tsp natural gelling agent

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: Activate the active dry yeast in warm milk mixed with a pinch of sugar, letting it foam. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, and plant-based butter, then knead until smooth and elastic dough forms. Cover and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 2 hours.
  2. Make the Raspberry Swirl Filling: While the dough rises, gently warm the raspberry preserves with lemon juice and natural gelling agent. Stir until thickened to a spreadable consistency. Allow to cool completely before use.
  3. Roll and Assemble: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle. Spread the cooled raspberry filling evenly over the dough, then roll tightly into a log. Place the rolled dough into a loaf pan with the swirl side facing up to showcase the pattern.
  4. Second Rise and Baking: Let the loaf rise again for about 45 minutes until puffed. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30 to 35 minutes until golden and hollow-sounding when tapped. Cool briefly in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for even yeast activation and smooth dough.
  • Do not rush the rising times; proper fermentation enhances flavor and texture.
  • Roll the dough tightly to prevent filling leakage and achieve clear swirls.
  • Ensure the raspberry filling is completely cooled before spreading to prevent soggy dough.
  • Brush the baked loaf with additional plant-based butter for a glossy, soft crust.
