I love Babka! I usually make little ones - roll out dough, fill, roll-up like cinnamon roll, and put in muffin tins (regular size) lined with tall liners. For dough, I used to use a poor man's brioche (for quick) or rich man's brioche (overnight for "Wow!) but this past year I've started using a sweet dough using sourdough starter from an old cookbook I got used years ago. Amazing dough! And for filling I've used everything from melted butter heavily sprinkled with cinnamon sugar/ground chocolate/chocolate nibs, to ground chocolate/cocoa/sugar, to my latest made last Sunday: ground German's chocolate (1 bar)/ground Mexican chocolate (1 tablet)/ground turbinado sugar (about 1/2 cup)/about 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon/vanilla powder all spread over melted butter. YUM! :-D
