20 Babka Recipes

Who doesn’t love the sweet Jewish bread cake amazingness we call babka? Have you ever made your own? Here are 20 Babka Recipes to get you started. Yes!

Y’all. I love babka. (Bab-wha??) What is this magical treat? I’m glad you asked! It’s a yeasted bread (don’t be scared!) stuffed with chocolate, cinnamon, or pretty much anything you can imagine. And it’s just delicious. Babka came about as a way to use leftover challah dough, and repurpose it into a dessert. Sneaky! Sometimes topped with a streusel, chocolate, or magic.  (Cheating tip: use crescent dough instead of homemade to speed up the process).
