How to make a raspberry bread braid

  1. Make the dough: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warmed milk, egg, sugar and yeast. Allow to stand for 5 minutes until frothy then add the flour and salt. Knead with the dough hook attachment until mostly combined then add the softened butter. Knead for another 5 minutes.
  2. Allow the dough to proof: Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp tea towel and place in a warm spot. Allow the dough to rise for 90 minutes.
  3. Assemble the bread braid: Once risen, tip the dough onto a floured surface. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, approximately ½cm thick. Spread the raspberry preserves over the top then scatter over fresh raspberries. Roll into a tight roll. With a sharp knife, cut down the center of the roll, exposing the layers. Gently twist the two halves of the roll together, braiding them so that the preserves are exposed. Coil the braid into itself then transfer to a sheet of parchment paper. Place the braided bread into a pot with a lid (Dutch oven) and cover with the lid. Allow to rise for 30 minutes while you preheat the oven.
  4. Bake the bread: Place the bread in the oven, uncovered, and allow to bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for at least 30 minutes then slice and serve.

    “¼ cup softened butter
    ½ cup raspberry preserves
    ½ cup fresh raspberries”
    One day America will start using real measurements like grams and millilitres instead of the ridiculous and impracticable cup!

      I’m actually South African and find cup measures to be easy to use. Not everyone owns a scale but most people have a set of measuring cups handy.
