Christmas sweets

I wanted to make something special for the Holidays, when we all gather around the table and spend a good time with our family. I got inspired by this amazing Christmas star twisted brioche and I decided it's time to try it out. It takes time and patience but the final result it's really looking good and it's yummy too.

I decided to fill my brioche with raspberry jam with raspberries picked this summer straight from our garden.

I wanted to obtain a nice colorful contrast, between the red raspberry jam and the backed brioche dough.

Ingredients for the brioche dough:

  • 500g white flour,
  • 3 egg yolks,
  • 8g dried yeast,
  • 120g brown sugar,
  • 300g milk,
  • 50g butter,
  • 50g sunflower oil,
  • 1 vannila essence,
  • 1 tsp lemon zest,
  • a sprinkle of salt.

The raspberry jam:

  • 300g fresh raspberries,
  • 5 tbsp brown sugar,
  • a strainer for separating the seeds from the raspberries.
