Make Babka
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Roll store bought or homemade pizza or challah dough into a large rectangle, even in thickness throughout.
Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and pecans, and sprinkle evenly over dough.
Roll dough in a tight log and pinch seams to seal.
Slice log down the center and twist the 2 halves with the cut side facing up.
Transfer carefully to a Gefen Parchment lined baking sheet and bake for about 30-40 minutes until golden brown.

Awesome! Delicious! I ate half of the cake, couldn't resist. After the first tasting I started baking another two.
Truly yum.
Thanks so much for such a great recipe
Insanely good!!
1 ball of pizza dough Shalom. I live on my own but enjoy making good food for my friends. We don't have balls of dough where I live, or many other American standard weights and measures (e.g. 2 cans of xyz, or 1 package of abc) Please could you weigh one for your international readers and include the ounces or grammes in your recipes? I really want to bake this in memory of my late Bobba. I would brush the pastry with butter to make it richer. Many thanks. Aryeh.
PS. Please could you list the names of your Chefs in alphabetical order for ease of searching. Thank you.
Hi! In general, if you google the products that we use you will see how many grams or ounces they are, making it easier for you to replicate it. In terms of this recipe, you can make your favorite pizza dough recipe or this is a great and easy recipe https://www.kosher.com/recipe/no-knead-pizza-dough-4508
Esty’s Easy Babka This recipe looks REALLY YUMMY! Can the pecans be skipped (whether for those who may be allergic to nuts or who just don’t like nuts)?
Yep!
