Dough Boy

Picked up giant bag of unbleached flour today, enough to make 30 babkas. And some other ingredients. I have 1 or 2 to bake at the moment, no big hurry. Haven't had very many donations lately.

Babka Almond Ding

Baked, and delivered! A little dry, but tasty. The filling is a bit boring and could probably take more than the other 2 flavors, as well as some color enhancement. Ground whole almonds, maybe, and some honey would do the trick. (A second research babka was made and consumed at a poker game.) Pictures to come.

Looks tasty

Almond paste has been secured. Got enough for two.

Chocomon

Or is Cinnalate? Anyway, two of these babkas were made, and one was delivered. To make a half chocolate and half cinnamon, I just made a double batch of dough and then cut each one in half and joined the ends. The second one came to work with me where it was enjoyed by many. I have to say it turned out really good. I still can't find the proper knife to cut it with, it tends to smash down a little. Maybe a filet knife..

So much flour, so little time

I have 3 orders to fill! But, trouble. I have requests for two new never before attempted flavors...Almond (ok, I walked into that one) and choconamon (a half chocolate and half cinnamon monstrosity). Gotta find that rare almond paste they have down south, and figure out how to Frankenstein the two basic babka flavors together.
