Carrying on from my blog - which includes the recipe - and prior post (http://weightloss-slim.fit/node/45353/sourdough-easter-babka-babka-wielkanocna-na-zakwasie%3C/a%3E%29...%3C/p%3E%3Cp%3EThis was soooooooooo worth trying. Just delicious... Soft, light, sweet, fruity - everything a babka should be. To be honest, you wouldn't ever have thought it was made with sourdough at all.
And as it's tea time here, going to snag another slice with a nice cup of tea :-)
too - not that it will last long enogh to worry about. Looks yummy. Now you will have to do a yeast water one to compare:-)
Happy Easter Reynard
Happy Easter (I'm sure that amazing Babka will help with that!).
No, it's not going to last long, but I have noticed that it's not gone stale - as a yeasted one would have done by now.
I will try a YW one eventually, but let me get this one down pat first ;-) Am tempted to swap the raisins for chocolate chips and the icing for ganache at some point. Now that would be naughty, wouldn't it? ;-)
Lucy's personal favorite.
Good taste. Chocolate, boozy fruit, what's not to like? ;-)
The bakery near where I grew up used to sell marbled chocolate ones with chocolate icing, but I can't remember whether those were yeasted or whether they were a pound cake mix...
P.S. I cling-filmed the leftovers and they still haven't gone stale. I would never thought sourdough would have made such a difference to the keeping qualities. There's enough left for tomorrow's breakfast, though mum is making noises about my baking another one already LOL
