Christmas is nearly here, I had all the ingredients, and so I took the plunge! The dough is beautiful and now, I am simply waiting to indulge with a cuppa and this lovely bread.

I'm starting to enjoy baking with yeast, however, I only have instant yeast. Can I use it in this recipe? Is there any substitute for halva? I don't even know where to get it where I live. Your Babka looks amazing! Thank you. Hi Nurit. I’m starting to enjoy baking with yeast, however, I only have instant yeast. Can I use it in this recipe? Is there any substitute for halva?

The cakes might a bit shorter, but other then that I think it'll be oK. Let me know if you try it? I’ve never tried it but see no reason why it would not work.

This is one of my favorite cakes—up there in the top 10, maybe even top 5! I’ve always made it this way and had no problems but then, ovens do vary… Maybe try to lower the temperature by 10 F degrees? Hi Kathy,

I had some halva that friend from Israel brought me, so wanted to use it in something. I cut the dough lengthwise as suggested and braided it. I think next time I won't brush with egg and may turn the heat down just a little as it got pretty dark on top because of all the sugar that was exposed, even baking it for a shorter time. I didn't have the long pans, so baked it on a cookie sheet. Very tasty! Rich bread, yummy filling. Thanks. I always wondered what a babka was. I made this today and it is really good!
