Ingredients

Scale

Dough Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup plant-based butter (room temperature)
  • 1/2 cup plant-based milk (warm)
  • 1/4 cup natural sugar
  • 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 tsp salt

Raspberry Swirl Filling

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh raspberries
  • 1/4 cup natural sugar
  • 1 tbsp natural gelling agent
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (natural)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (natural)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Raspberry Swirl Filling: Gently cook fresh raspberries with natural sugar and natural gelling agent until thickened to a jam-like consistency. Stir in lemon zest (natural) and vanilla extract (natural). Set aside to cool.
  2. Mix and Knead the Dough: In a large bowl, dissolve active dry yeast in warm plant-based milk and let it bloom until frothy. Add natural sugar, salt, flour, and room temperature plant-based butter. Knead until smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky, about 10 minutes by hand or 6-7 minutes with a dough hook.
  3. First Rise: Place dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
  4. Shape and Add Raspberry Swirl: Punch down the dough and roll into a large rectangle on a floured surface. Spread the cooled raspberry mixture evenly over the dough. Roll tightly and place seam side down in a greased loaf pan.
  5. Second Rise: Cover loaf pan loosely and let dough rise until nearly doubled, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake loaf for 35 to 40 minutes until golden brown and internal temperature reaches about 190°F. Cool in pan for 10 minutes then transfer to wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients for better yeast activation and smoother dough.
  • Do not overfill with raspberry filling to prevent leaking and sogginess.
  • Let raspberry swirl cool completely before spreading to maintain dough structure.
  • Roll dough gently to preserve air pockets and achieve airy texture.
  • Check oven temperature with a thermometer for even baking results.
