How to make Cheese Babka as my Momma made

Sprinkle the yeast and the pinch of sugar over the warm water; stir to dissolve. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.

• Combine the 1/2 cup butter, 1/4 cup sugar, salt, 2 teaspoons of vanilla, milk, and 3 eggs in a bowl with 1 cup of flour and mix well.
• Add the yeast mixture and beat for 1 minute.
• Gradually add the remaining flour to form a soft dough. Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, adding small amounts of flour as necessary to prevent sticking.
• Shape the dough into a round, and place it in a greased bowl, turning to coat.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let the dough rise at room temperature until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Even if it takes longer it is ok

How I make babka filling

• Beat together the farmers’ cheese, –

• 1/3 cup sugar, sour cream,
• -1 egg, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and dried lemon peel (optional ) until smooth.

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and pat into a 10-inch by 12-inch rectangle.

• Brush the dough with the 2 tablespoons of melted butter. Spread the cheese filling evenly over the dough.

• Bring together edges and pinch the seams and ends closed and arrange in the greased pan. I like to use my bundt cake

Cover loosely and let rise 1 hour.

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F

Bake the babka until deep golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes; babka needs to cool for at least 2 hours before slicing.
