Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- Start by warming that milk up—just to about 110°F. Dissolve the yeast in the milk with a sprinkle of sugar and let it hang out for about 5-10 minutes until it froths.
- In a big bowl, mix together your flour, sugar, salt, and lemon zest.
- Add your frothy yeast mix, softened butter, eggs, and vanilla. Knead that dough for about 5-10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Cover it with a dish towel and let it rise in a warm spot for about an hour, or until it’s doubled in size.
Raspberry Filling
- While your dough is rising, combine the raspberry preserves, cornstarch, and water in a small saucepan.
- Heat it over medium, stirring constantly until it thickens up and becomes gooey but spreadable.
Shaping
- Once your dough is risen, punch it down and roll it out into a rectangle—about ½ inch thick.
- Spread the raspberry filling over the dough, leaving a little space at the edges.
- Roll it up tightly and pinch the seams to seal. Place the rolled dough into a greased loaf pan.
- Let it puff up for about 30 minutes while you preheat the oven to 350°F.
Baking
- Pop that beauty in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until it’s golden brown on top and smells like heaven.
- Let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Glazing (Optional)
- Whisk together powdered sugar, lemon juice, and milk until smooth.
- Drizzle gloriously over the cooled loaf.
