SWEET BABKA WITH CHOCOLATE SWIRL Makes 2 loaves
The word babka is the Polish word for grandmother, as well as the name of this sweet
bread. Usually baked in a fluted round mold with a center tube, the loaves were said to
resemble a woman’s full skirt of centuries past. This recipe is baked in a loaf pan. One
basic dough is used to create two different and delightful swirled breakfast creations—
choose the filling you like. The dough is removed from the machine, stuffed and rolled
up, and baked in the oven. I keep a stash of disposable aluminum loaf pans, available
in any supermarket, on hand for baking sweet breads. The breads bake beautifully in
them, and if any of the sweet filling leaks out, it doesn’t stick. Babka is a traditional
Easter coffee bread.
