Lithuanian yeasted coffee cake (Babka) from A Blessing of Bread: The Many Rich Traditions of Jewish Bread Baking Around the World by Maggie Glezer

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • PinchOfSalt on January 07, 2014

    Made the split-top version. This is the babka of my youth, except the loaves my mother brought back from the neighborhood bakery were not scored on top as this recipe requires. It is a treat made with a rich dough and a sweet filling (even without the chocolate chips, which I did not use). There is plenty of filling - this is not a chocolate version of cinnamon bread. The recipe makes two loaves.
