Did you know that when you watch our videos you help fight human trafficking! It's true, years ago we decided to use our everyday life as a way to fight against slavery and trafficking. Since then we started hosting the Freedom Dinners ( How our Backyard Table has raised over $10... ) and when our business , http://www.ciderpresslane.com , started we knew we wanted it to give back too. We donate 10% of all of our profits to @AtlasFree to fight for those that cannot stand up for themselves. So glad we get to bake and garden, fill our tables and use the beauty of our everyday lives as a powerful tool for hope!
Babka Ingredients
150 grams levain (aka fed active starter)
320 g (2½ cups) all-purpose flour
110 g (⅓ cup) milk room temperature
2 eggs room temperature
30 g (¼ cup) powdered sugar this gives you lovely soft dough!
8 g (1½ tsp) sea salt or other salt
105 g (½ cup) butter room temperature - get this to room temperature and set it aside. You won’t need it just yet.
Filling
200 g (1 cup) brown sugar
15 g (⅛ cup) all-purpose flour
43 g (3 tbsp) butter
¼ teaspoon salt
3 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon all spice
1/4 teaspoon cardamom (if you have it! this Is what makes it taste just like you’re in Greece :)
Egg Wash
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
Final Glaze
1/4 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Bake at 350F
Bake the Babka for 40-55 minutes depending on which size pan you’ve chosen. I bake until the middle reads 185-190 degrees
My family finished this one and was already asking me to get dough ready for the next weekend :) Go ahead. Get the dough ready now so you can enjoy the fun of baking this sometime this next week!
