Just a question. In the photo brushing with egg, it appears that you flipped the babka when you put it into the pan, leaving the smooth, uncut side on top. But the picture of the risen babka shows the cut side up. I would assume that it have to be placed in the pan cut side up so that it could open as it rises, and so that all of the filling doesn't melt and puddle at the bottom of the pan?
