Ingredients:

  • 2 packages active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 2/3 cup warm milk
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 3 tbsp butter, softened ,plus
  • 4 1/2-5 cups flour
  • 3 eggs
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup flour

Directions:

  1. In the bowl of an electric mixer, sprinkle yeast over the water; add 1 teaspoon sugar, let stand until yeast is soft, about 5 minutes.
  2. Mix in remaining sugar, milk, salt, vanilla and softened butter.
  3. Add 2 1/2 cups flour, mix to blend then beat, at medium speed, until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
  4. Separate one of the eggs; reserve white for glaze; beat in egg yolk and remaining whole eggs, one at a time; stir in about 1 1/2 cups more flour to make a soft dough.
  5. Turn dough onto a board coated with some of the remaining 1/2 to 1 cup flour; knead until dough is smooth and satiny and small bubbles form just under the surface, 10-12 minutes, adding just enough flour to prevent dough from being too sticky.
  6. Turn dough into a greased bowl; cover with plastic wrap and a towel; let rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  7. Place dough on a floured surface and punch down; cover with inverted bowl and let rest for 10 minutes.
  8. Divide dough in half; roll each half on a floured surface to a 10 x 20-inch rectangle; brush 1 1/2 tablespoons of the melted butter over each rectangle, leaving about a 1/2-inch margin on all edges.
  9. Sprinkle half of the Cocoa Filling* over buttered surface of each rectangle, then sprinkle each rectangle with 1/2 cup walnuts.
  10. Starting with a 20-inch side, roll each rectangle of dough tightly, jelly-roll style; pinch edge to seal.
  11. Zigzag each roll back and forth to fit into a well greased 5x9-inch loaf pan.
  12. Let rise until almost doubled in bulk, 35-45 minutes.
  13. Preheat oven to 350°.
  14. Beat reserved egg white with 1 teaspoon water; brush egg white mixture over loaves; sprinkle each loaf with half of the Streusel Topping**.
  15. Bake until babkas are well-browned, 30-35 minutes then carefully remove loaves from pans and let cool on wire racks.
  16. *CocoaFilling: in a small bowl mix cocoa and sugar until well combined and no lumps remain.
  17. **StreuselTopping: In a medium bowl beat butter with cinnamon until fluffy; gradually beat in sugar, then mix in flour until crumbly and uniformly combined.
