निर्देश

Stiff Sweet Levain (ripe in 10-12 hours, overnight at 78ºF)

Mix together ripe sourdough starter, all purpose or bread flour, granulated sugar and water. Knead the levain until it forms a cohesive ball. Set in a glass measuring cup and cover for 10-12 hours until the levain has doubled in size and the top is rounded.

Babka Dough Day 1

Mix the Dough: Add all of the ripe, stiff sweet levain, whole milk, sugar, eggs, salt and bread flour to the bowl of a stand mixer. Knead together for about 5 minutes.

Add Butter: Cut the softened butter into Tablespoon sized chunks. With the dough hook running, add the butter to the center of the dough. The butter will begin to incorporate into the dough. Continue adding chunks of butter until all the butter is added. Knead for a total of 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and still somewhat tacky.

Bulk Fermentation: Turn the dough out into a shallow container. The dough will be sticky. It can help to wet your hands before turning the dough out if it sticks to your fingers. Cover the dough and set in a warm 78ºF place for the 4 hour bulk fermentation.

Refrigerate: Place the covered dough in the refrigerator to chill for 8-9 hours (or at least up to 3 hours).

Prepare Fillings and pan: Cut apples into chunks. Saute in a pan over medium-low heat with butter and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, until the apple chunks begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly. Mix together the cinnamon sugar filling until a thick paste forms. Set aside.Mix together brown sugar streusel by mixing softened butter, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Set aside.Prepare a 9 by 5 loaf pan with parchment paper.

Shape Dough: Pull the dough out of the refrigerator. Lightly flour a pastry mat or kitchen countertop. Turn the dough out onto the mat and lightly flour the top of the dough. Roll the dough into a large 14 by 18 inch rectangle. Spread the cinnamon filling over the dough, getting right up to the edges of the dough. Sprinkle on the sautéed apples, covering as much of the dough as possible. Then top with about 2/3 of the streusel mixture.

Roll the dough up as you would a cinnamon roll, starting with the edge closest to you and rolling tightly, until a log is formed. Pinch the seams closed and turn the log of dough over. Use a sharp knife or bench knife to cut the roll in half; straight down the middle of the roll the long way. This will leave two long ropes of dough. Beginning on one end, squish the ends of the dough together and then twist the dough around each other forming the Babka loaf. Push the ends of the dough together and place the Babka in the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the remaining streusel on top of the babka dough.

Proof: Cover the loaf and let rise overnight at 76-78ªF. The time this takes will depend on the temperature of your environment. Let the dough rise until it has mostly filled the loaf pan, doubled in size and gets light and puffy.

Bake: Preheat the oven to 350º Fahrenheit. Bake Babka for 60-70 minutes until baked all the way through and the internal temperature of the babka registers 195ºF. Pull the Babka out of the oven and let rest in the pan for about 5-10 minutes. This can take a little longer than a traditional babka because of the many delicious inclusions in the dough.

Simple Syrup: While the Babka is baking, prepare the simple syrup for the top of the Babka. Mix together the granulated sugar and water in a microwave safe liquid measuring cup. Microwave on high a minute at a time until boiling and all the sugar is dissolved. Set aside.Alternatively, make the simple syrup on the stovetop. Boil the sugar and water together for about 1 minute until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Pull Babka out of the oven and let rest in the pan for about 5-10 minutes. Remove the loaf from the pans using the parchment paper and place on a cooling rack. Pour or brush the simple syrup onto the babka, letting it soak into the warm bread. Let Babka cool and enjoy!
