How to Make Raspberry Braid

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the can of biscuit dough onto a lightly floured surface. Gently press the dough into a 12x8 inch rectangle.
  3. Spread the raspberry jam evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
  4. Starting from the long side, tightly roll the dough into a log.
  5. Using a sharp knife, cut the log in half lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  6. Gently twist the two halves together, forming a braid. Pinch the ends together to seal.
  7. Place the braid on the prepared baking sheet.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg, milk/cream, and optional granulated sugar.
  9. Brush the egg wash evenly over the braid.
  10. Sprinkle with coarse or sanding sugar, if desired.
  11. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown.
  12. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
