babkas
Swirled Jewish breads
Babkas are rich, yeasted pastries of Eastern European Jewish origin, typically made by twisting sweetened dough with a filling—most often chocolate or cinnamon—and baking it in a loaf pan.
The swirled layers create a distinctive marbled appearance when sliced.
She picked up chocolate babkas from the bakery for brunch.
