Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water (110-115°F)
  • 1 (0.25oz) package (7g) or 2 1/4 teaspoons Platinum Yeast
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 1 cup raspberry jam
  • 3/4 cup pecans (chopped)

Instructions

  • In a large bowl add warm water, yeast and sugar; whisk to combine. Set aside until foamy. Once yeast has proofed, add 1 cup flour and salt. Mix with dough whisk or large spoon.
  • Mix in remaining flour, ½ cup at a time. At this time you will probably need to use your hands.
  • Turn dough out onto a on lightly floured counter top. Knead until dough is soft and elastic, about 5-7 minutes.
  • Place dough into a lightly greased medium mixing bowl. Cover; let rise in a warm area until it has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  • Once doubled in size, punch down and place on a lightly floured surface. Roll dough out to about 10×20-inch rectangle.
  • Carefully, spread jam on dough, leaving about ½-inch around the edges. Sprinkle pecans evenly on top of jam.
  • Roll dough tightly, starting at the 10-inch side. Pinch the seal to close.
  • Using a sharp knife cut down the middle of the roll. Carefully braid (twist) the two pieces of dough – this will be a little messy. Tightly seal the ends together.
  • Gently place twisted dough in a lightly greased loaf pan. Cover; let rise for 30-45 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Bake bread for 55 minutes, or until bread is golden brown.

This is a very easy recipe for my inexperienced baking self. Very little complexity and a one-afternoon dessert and you can still get an hour of chores in while it does the main rise. I will say it is very sticky when it’s done and I found it very messy to put together – I used Mom’s trick of simply cutting it with the kitchen shears rather than trying to hack through springy dough. Next time I’ll probably just roll it and drop it in the loaf pan as-is. I will also find something – oil or egg wash – to give the loaf a little shine on top as it’s dryer looking than it tastes.

If you like fruit & nut breads this is a good one to make. It was very easy to make as well and really a good tasting bread:)
