Sourdough Babka Recipe

 Making this sourdough babka was both a triumph too a hurting in the butt.


I made the enriched sourdough for the babka a full of iii times: one time by itself, once alongside the chocolate as a full sourdough babka, together with a moment time alongside the chocolate once more. The dough kneaded upwards beautifully the start two times, simply the tertiary fourth dimension for just about argue was really mucilaginous together with needed together with extra brace of spoonfuls of flour. I'm not certain why, only thankfully the cease result turned out but equally good as the start 2 times.

If you lot accept a stand mixer in addition to dough hooks... role them. I unfortunately don't, and so it took xx minutes of pure elbow grease to knead the dough to go elastic enough. But the fluffy, soft sourdough babka I ended up amongst was worth it.

You're going to take your sourdough to be fed in addition to actively bubbling for this one.
