Very often I dedicate myself to yeasted doughs because I like them. I like seeing the dough grow during the resting time and then even more when it is in the oven. I think it is pure magic. Isn’t it? For yeasted and non-yeasted recipes, I have a notebook where I write my list of “recipes to try.” Do you do that too? Among the ones absolutely to make there had been the Babka for a long time. I don’t know why, maybe it was the name, the shape, the chocolate, or all of them together, but it has always fascinated me. Babka is a Polish and Jewish yeasted bread. The name literally means “little grandmother’s bread” and it is prepared especially during Easter, but it is delicious all year round!!! The Polish version has no filling but only a chocolate or vanilla glaze, while the Jewish version is filled with a chocolate cream often combined with chopped nuts. The dough is super soft and the chocolate cream is indulgent. You must try it!
Every product available on the marketplace is listed and sold by a partner seller indicated on the product page. The platform acts as a metasearch/marketplace: it facilitates discovery and checkout, but the sale is carried out by the seller, who becomes the party responsible for the transaction.
Shipping is handled directly by the seller partner. The package leaves the seller's warehouse, or its logistics network, and is handed over to the carrier. This model enables more efficient deliveries and ensures that order management is handled by those who actually have the product available.
On the product page you will find ingredients, allergens and nutritional information according to the data provided by the seller or manufacturer, i.e. the official label. If you have allergies or intolerances, we recommend that you carefully check the product page before purchasing and contact the seller with any specific questions.

Crumble the brewer’s yeast into a bowl. Melt the butter and warm the milk slightly. Pour both onto the yeast so it dissolves.
Add the sugar and cardamom. Mix and gradually add all the flour. Knead vigorously until the dough is smooth and easy to handle. Lastly, add the salt and work it in.
Let the mixture rise under a cloth until doubled in size. Meanwhile, prepare the filling.

Add the sugar, cocoa, vanilla extract, and honey.
