Supreme Babka...
I live in a 55 and older community that started out predominately Jewish. There are 2 synagogues and New York bagel style restaurant within the village. The grocery store across the street has a large ethnic section of foods typical of the Jewish religion/culture.The bakery there often has seasonal items like Mondel bread that is baked as a loaf and cut with the appearance of Biscotti. The main difference is the Mondel bread texture is softer, similar to a chocolate chip cookie.
Last week something new (to me) appears in the bakery section... Babka.
The description is a sweet bread that has folded layers. I've seen two flavors. Chocolate and Cinnamon.
$6 for a loaf is pricey in my book, but I was curious.
Finishing the last slice tonight, it's doubtful I would try it again.
Maybe cinnamon rolls would be a less expensive choice.
