Istruzioni

1. 1

   Preparare

   Preparare gli ingredienti.

   The dough is very soft; resist adding too much extra flour.

2. 2

   Cuocere

   Cuocere a fuoco medio fino a cottura.

3. 3

   Condire

   Condire con sale e pepe.

4. 4

   Servire

   Servire caldo.

   A tight roll gives more defined swirls in the finished loaf.

5. 5

   Cut and braid

   Slice the log in half lengthwise to expose the layers, then twist the two halves over each other into a braid with the cut sides facing up. Tuck the ends under and place in a lined loaf pan.

6. 6

   Second rise

   Cover loosely and let the shaped babka proof for 45 to 60 minutes until visibly puffy and nearly filling the pan. Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F) toward the end of proofing.

7. 7

   Bake and syrup

   Bake 30 to 35 minutes until deep golden and set, tenting with foil if it browns too fast. While warm, brush generously with a simple sugar syrup for shine and moisture, then cool before slicing.

   The syrup soak keeps the loaf moist and gives it a bakery sheen.
