I’m actually not a fan of cakes and cookies; I don’t have a big sweet tooth. Except for one thing- a good chocolate babka. That will always tempt me. Here is my secret how I succeed in always having some stocked up: I use challah dough! Every time I make a batch of challah, I set aside some dough for babka. It’s so easy once you have the dough already made. It took me many tries to get the recipe right- not too gooey and raw, but not too dry either. But here it is, and I make it all the time! By now I’ve done it countless times I don’t even measure anymore:)
