Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup whole milk (lukewarm)
- ½ cup unsalted butter (softened)
- 3 large eggs (room temperature)
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 cups fresh strawberries (chopped)
- 1 cup powdered sugar (for glazing)
Instructions
- Prepare the dough by warming milk until lukewarm. Sprinkle in yeast and sugar, let froth for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add yeast mixture, butter, and eggs; knead until smooth for about 10 minutes.
- Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a towel, and let rise in a warm area until doubled in size (about 1 hour).
- Prepare filling by mixing chopped strawberries with powdered sugar.
- Punch down the dough and roll it into a rectangle about half an inch thick. Spread strawberry mixture evenly over the dough.
- Roll tightly to form a log, slice lengthwise, twist halves together, and place in a greased loaf pan.
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Allow babka to rise again for about 30 minutes before baking for approximately 35 minutes until golden brown.
