Ingredients

Scale
  • 100g active sourdough starter (fed 68 hours before)
  • 200ml warm milk or milk alternative
  • 50g unsalted butter softened
  • 60g granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 400g bread flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 150g fresh or frozen raspberries
  • 40g brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp melted butter for brushing
  • 50g powdered sugar
  • 23 tsp milk or cream
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

  • Instructions

    1. Refresh the sourdough starter by feeding and allowing it to become active and bubbly for 6-8 hours.

    2. In a bowl or stand mixer combine warm milk, granulated sugar, softened butter, and sourdough starter.

    3. Stir in the egg and salt, then gradually add bread flour until a smooth dough forms.

    4. Knead the dough for 8-10 minutes until elastic and smooth, then shape into a ball and cover.

    5. Let the dough bulk ferment in a warm place for 3-4 hours until doubled in size.

    6. Meanwhile, cook raspberries, brown sugar, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat until thickened, then cool.

    7. Deflate the dough, roll into a 12×16 inch rectangle, and spread the cooled raspberry filling evenly, leaving a 1-inch border.

    8. Roll the dough into a log, slice lengthwise, twist the two strands together, and form into a wreath, pinching the ends to seal.

    9. Place the wreath on parchment-lined baking sheet, cover and proof for 1-2 hours until slightly puffy.

    10. Preheat oven to 180C, brush the wreath with melted butter, and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden and fragrant.

    11. Cool the wreath for at least 20 minutes, then mix powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk into a glaze and drizzle over the top.
