Ingredients
Scale
- 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (2 ¼ tsp) active dry yeast
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup warm milk
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs, at room temperature
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup raspberry preserves or jam
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- 2 tbsp water
- 1 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tbsp milk or cream
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by combining warm milk and sugar in a bowl; sprinkle yeast on top and let it foam for 5–10 minutes.
- Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add foamy yeast mixture, softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract; mix until a shaggy dough forms.
- Knead dough on a floured surface for 10–12 minutes until smooth and elastic. Let rise in a greased bowl covered with a damp towel for 1 to 1½ hours.
- For the filling, cook raspberry preserves with cornstarch and water until thickened; cool completely.
- Roll out dough into a rectangle; spread cooled filling evenly over it. Roll into a log and twist halves together before placing in a greased loaf pan for second rise (30–40 minutes).
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake loaf for 35–40 minutes until golden brown; cool before glazing.
