CHOCOLATE-APRICOT BABKA
You may think it unfathomable to change up a classic babka recipe, but maybe there's something to be said about playing with a classic. Ann Amernick, the author of "The Art of the Dessert," adds apricot jam to her chocolate babka for a little acidity. Poundcake crumbs lighten the filling a bit, soaking up the jam. It's a twist on the traditional, and perhaps a new favorite.

Steps:
- To make dough, combine flours, salt and all but 1 tablespoon sugar in mixer fitted with dough attachment and mix on medium speed. In a small bowl, stir yeast with one tablespoon warm water and reserved tablespoon sugar just until sugar and yeast have dissolved. Reduce mixer speed to low, add yeast mixture, milk, eggs and vanilla. Beat until dough is shiny and elastic, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Add one stick butter by spoonfuls until thoroughly incorporated, then beat on low speed for about 5 minutes. When finished, dough should be silken and rich like very thick ice cream. Transfer to a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and set aside. When dough has doubled in size, after 2 hours, flour a cutting board and your hands. Then push dough down on board, cover well with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours or overnight.
- To make filling, purée apricot preserves in a food processor until smooth. In a small bowl, combine cake crumbs, preserves and butter; mix until smooth. Set aside. Grate chocolate by hand in large holes of a box grater or in a food processor. If using a food processor, pulse into large chunks. Set aside.
- To make streusel topping, in a small bowl mix flour, sugar and cinnamon. Add cold butter and using your fingers, mix together until crumbly. Set aside.
- To assemble, line one Bundt pan or two 8 1/2 by 4 1/2-inch loaf pans with parchment paper, not letting paper come more than 1 inch above top of pans. Remove dough from refrigerator and divide it in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll one piece of dough into a 12 x 8-inch rectangle.
- Using a metal spatula, spread half the apricot filling over dough within 1/2 inch of edges. Sprinkle with half the grated chocolate. Beginning with long side, roll dough up tightly and fold in ends. Twist babka lengthwise to create a spiral, holding one end of babka in each hand. Place twisted babka in half the prepared Bundt pan or in a loaf pan, pressing dough firmly into pan. Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter. Brush babka top with melted butter and sprinkle with half the streusel. Repeat with second half of babka dough. Cover loosely with plastic wrap. Let loaves rise at room temperature until they reach top of pan or about doubled in volume, about 2 hours.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 45 minutes, or until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Allow babka to cool for 30 minutes before cutting. Slice babka and serve.

OLD WORLD POPPY SEED ROLL
Tender, soft, sweet yeast bread swirled with a creamy homemade poppy seed filling. Growing up, my mother and aunts always made this Eastern European bread for Easter and Christmas. Looks complicated, but is easy enough to make for an Old-World treat. I like it best after the second day.

Steps:
- Place poppy seeds into a food processor and process until seeds are ground, about 1 minute.
- Mix poppy seeds with 3/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon melted butter, lemon juice, and hot milk in a bowl; stir to combine. Cover poppy seed filling and refrigerate while making bread (filling will set up and thicken as it chills).
- Mix yeast with water and 2 tablespoons sugar in a small bowl. Allow to stand until the yeast forms a creamy layer.
- Whisk flour with salt in a bowl; use a pastry cutter to cut 1/4 cup butter into the flour mixture until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Pour yeast mixture and egg yolk into flour mixture and stir to make a soft dough.
- Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and knead until smooth and slightly springy, about 5 minutes. If dough is too sticky, knead in more flour, about 2 tablespoons at a time.
- Cut dough into 2 equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a 12x16-inch rectangle.
- Spread half the poppy seed filling over each rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border. Fold the 1-inch border back over the filling on all sides and press down.
- Pick up the shorter side of a dough rectangle and roll it like a jelly roll; repeat with second rectangle. Pinch ends together or tuck ends under to prevent filling from leaking out.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; place rolls seam sides down on the baking sheet and allow to rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Beat egg white in a bowl until frothy; brush the rolls with beaten egg white.
- Bake in preheated oven until dark golden brown on top, 30 to 40 minutes. Remove from oven and cover rolls with a clean kitchen towel until cool to keep crust soft. Cool completely before slicing.

TOP 6 RECIPES FOR HOMEMADE BABKA - THE SPRUCE EATS
From thespruceeats.com
Estimated Reading Time 3 mins
- Chocolate Babka (Dairy) Chocolate babka is undeniably one of the most popular iterations. Barbara Rolek's recipe calls for a canned chocolate filling, but if you can't find it (and don't feel like making a filling from scratch), take a cue from Uri Scheft, and spread the dough with Nutella, then sprinkle it with mini chocolate chips.
- Apricot Pistachio Babka (Pareve) This babka, from the cookbook Bubbe and Me in the Kitchen, marries Sephardic flavors of tart apricots and pistachios with a quintessentially Ashkenazi-style pastry.
- Cinnamon Babka (Dairy) For every chocolate babka devotee, there's someone else who swears that cinnamon babka is the best. Some recipes include raisins and/or chopped walnuts in the filling, though this one uses storebought cinnamon filling and whipped egg whites to achieve the bread's swirls.
- Cheese Babka (Diary) Eastern European Food Expert Barbara Rolek shares this recipe for Cheese Babka. A sweet cream cheese-based filling is swirled throughout the streusel topped pastry, which makes a perfect treat to enjoy with coffee.
- Savory Vegan Babka With Coriander, Basil and Sour Cashew Cream. Google "babka," or even "vegan babka" and you'll get loads of returns for the chocolate version.
- Gluten Free Chocolate Babka (Dairy) If you can't eat gluten, the notion of slicing into a babka and taking a bite may seem like the stuff of dreams. Consider Gluten Free on a Shoestring blogger Nicole Hunn your babka fairy godmother, because she's managed to devise a gluten-free recipe that's got culinary wish fulfillment written all over it.
