It was baked late last night and I havent cut into it. I did bake and ate the end pieces I trimmed off and they were delicious. I think i will try the tang zhong method next time. I grated some orange zest in the syrup mixture

    I don’t really know what babka is but this looks really great

    Gorgeous! Def one of the things I’ve always wanted to make but have been too lazy/intimidated 🤣

    Her babka is delicious; I added an extra egg yolk to the recipe ( based on other recipes) and it really made the dough extra rich.
    I also filled w both Nutella and a sugar/cocoa filling.

    It looks awful.

    Send it to me so I can properly dispose of it.

    Not Jewish but this looks better than any I’ve seen on cooking shows! Never tasted one and now I’m desperate to find one. Where can I go?

    Beautiful!
    Is challah dough and babka dough used interchangeably? 🤔

    I’m interested in doing one but I don’t have a mold of that type, could you tell me where you bought it please ? Also, your babka looks amazing !!
