Directions
Polish Babka With Optional Cheese Filling, This recipe can be made with a cheese filling. Which can be made while dough is rising. The rising times are not included. There are 3 rising times be sure to do the rising of the dough in a draft free, warm place. The picture posted is with dried cherries, dried cranberries and the optional saffron. I must say this is one of my favorite home made or store babkas bought to date. The filling was so creamy and rich., I made about 5 of these last year. it seems like for a lot of them that I made the cheese was kind of exploding out of the one side or wasn’t uniformly distributed throughout the entire babka. Is there a trick to correct this and prevent it from happening?, How long do I let the Babka sit in the bundt pan after removing it from the oven?
