TO MAKE

Babka with Sephardic Twist — Sephardic Flavors | Jewish Mediterranean food Sephardic Babka with a twist is a traditional Ashkenazi coffee cake but there is always a way to give it more flavor, I added orange blossom, & it took it to the next level, i

Start with making the chocolate filling, transfer to a container or a Ziplock bag and refrigerate for one day or freeze 4 hours.

Make the syrup next, place all ingredients in a small pot, bring to a boil & simmer for 10 minutes.

Add all other dough ingredients & knead for 10 minutes, cover with towel, let rise for 1.5 hour.

Refrigerate dough for 4 hours or overnight, divide to 4 batches.

Keep 3 batches refrigerated while working with the first one, this recipe yields 4 Babkas

Roll dough to open to a 12”x12” , scrape frozen chocolate filling off and place in the middle of the dough. the more the filling is cold or semi frozen the better you can manage it.
