BABKA
Babka is a sweet, yeast-leavened bread and a cake hybrid.
It is made with an enriched dough (similar to brioche or challah) that is braided, filled, and baked.
It originated in the Jewish communities of Poland and Ukraine in the 19th century, where homemakers used leftover challah dough and filled it with cinnamon, fruit jam, or nuts.
