For the last couple of weeks, Molly’s been making loaves of babka for Saturday. Babka is a braided sweetbread originating in the Jewish communities of Poland, Russia and Ukraine. Our variant is a braided sweetbread with a generous chocolate filling, folded into a tin and baked as a loaf.

This is a new thing for us so if you’ve bought one we’d love to hear what you think, especially if you’re already a babka fan! Look for babka on Saturday mornings…
