  3. Mix in the activated yeast mixture, eggs, and softened butter until a dough forms.
  4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

  1. Prepare raspberries by washing and drying fresh ones or ensuring frozen ones are thawed.
  2. Roll out the risen dough on a floured surface into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
  3. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
  4. Sprinkle the raspberries over the filling.
  5. Roll the dough tightly from one long edge, pinching the seams to seal.
  6. Cut the log in half lengthwise, twist the two halves together and shape into a circle or braid.
  7. Place the shaped brioche on a greased baking sheet, cover and let it rise again for another 30-45 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
