Ingredients

Scale

For the Raspberry Swirl Filling

  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon natural gelling agent

For the Brioche Dough

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter, softened
  • 1 cup plant-based milk, warm
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (natural)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Swirl Filling: Combine fresh raspberries, granulated sugar, and natural gelling agent in a small pot. Cook gently over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and set aside to cool completely before use.
  2. Make the Brioche Dough: In a large bowl, mix warm plant-based milk with active dry yeast and a pinch of sugar. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes until bubbly and frothy. Add the flour, softened plant-based butter, remaining sugar, apple cider vinegar, vanilla extract (natural), and salt. Knead the mixture until smooth and elastic, approximately 8-10 minutes by hand or 5-7 minutes with a stand mixer. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  3. Roll and Fill: On a lightly floured surface, roll the risen dough into a large rectangle. Spread the cooled raspberry filling evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges. Carefully roll the dough tightly from one side to form a loaf shape.
  4. Second Rise: Place the rolled dough seam-side down into a greased loaf pan. Cover lightly with a cloth and allow it to rise again until puffed up and nearly doubled in size, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  5. Bake to Perfection: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the loaf for 30-35 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing to reveal the beautiful raspberry swirls.

Notes

  • Ensure all ingredients are close to room temperature to promote even dough rising.
  • Do not skip the second rise to achieve the soft and fluffy brioche texture.
  • Handle the dough gently when rolling to keep the air bubbles intact.
  • Use fresh raspberries for the best flavor and vibrant swirl color.
  • Brush the baked loaf with softened plant-based butter for an extra shiny and rich crust.
