Babka

Babka is a sweet, yeast-leavened bread of Eastern European origin, typically braided and filled with ingredients like chocolate, cinnamon, or fruit preserves. Its dough is rich and soft, made with ingredients such as flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and yeast. The filling is spread over rolled-out dough, which is then braided or twisted before baking. The result is a visually appealing, moist, and flavorful pastry often enjoyed during holidays or special occasions. Babka combines the texture of bread with the sweetness of a cake, making it a popular treat that is both rustic and indulgent.
