Ingredients
Dough Ingredients
- Egg – quantity as needed for dough and egg wash
- Milk – quantity as needed for dough and egg wash
- Raspberry filling – generous amount for swirling in the dough
Optional
- Aluminum foil for covering if loaves brown too quickly during baking
Instructions
- Second Rise: Cover the shaped loaves with a clean kitchen towel and let them rise again in a warm place for 30-45 minutes, or until they have puffed up significantly.
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk to create an egg wash. This will give the bread a shiny, golden crust.
- Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the risen loaves with the egg wash evenly to ensure a beautiful golden color after baking.
- Bake: Place the loaves in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The loaves are done when they’re golden brown and sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. If the tops brown too quickly, cover them loosely with aluminum foil.
- Cool: Remove the baked loaves from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- Ensure the loaves have risen properly before baking for the best texture.
- Use fresh raspberry filling for a vibrant flavor and appearance.
- Covering with aluminum foil prevents over-browning during baking.
- Allow loaves to cool completely to make slicing easier and to preserve the soft texture.
