Tips & Substitutions
For a delightful twist, you can substitute the raspberry jello with strawberry or peach jello for different flavors. If you prefer a less sugary topping, reduce the sugar to 1/3 cup each of white and brown sugar. Ensure the bread dough is fully thawed and at room temperature for the best rise. For a more decadent touch, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the sugar mixture.
