Recipes Tips

1. Make sure your yeast is fresh and active. If your dough doesn't rise, your yeast may be expired.

2. Don't overfill your babka or it may burst during baking.

3. You can make a glaze for your babka by mixing powdered sugar with a little bit of milk or water.

4. If you don't have a loaf pan, you can shape your babka into a ring or braid it.

5. Babka is best when it is still warm from the oven, but it is still delicious when it is cooled.
