This was an interesting bread to make! I made it Easter Sunday for my family's dinner and everyone loved it! Had some issues with the dough rising (I am not a great "yeast bread" maker-quick breads are more my speed), but I let it cook about 15 longer than suggested (because it was still a little "doughy") and it still came out great! I omitted the raisins and it was still wonderful! I left the extra loaf at my Dad's for the family to enjoy well after Easter! Can't wait to try it again next year!

This recipe is delicious, but there is so much dough that I think I will use three loaf pans from now on instead of just two.

OK, so as far as breads go, this one isn't easy. But in terms of special, holiday breads, this Babka really isn't that tough to do at all. And to top it off, the results of your efforts will be worth the bit of extra work. The bread is flaky and buttery--not what you want to eat when you are trying to loose a few pounds. But then, what the heck? This bread is for special occasions. It's completely yummy. Thanks Alicia!

It was a little difficult to make, but the orange zest really added a punch to the flavor. The bread got hard after just a day or two, so eat it quickly!!
