not sure how to rate, i'm not a bread maker by any means. i may have cooked this too long? a little dry, but it does taste almost EXACTLY like my mother in laws. i didn't use the raisins because i don't like them in bread. i will make again, for my Dad and use the raisins.

I have been using this recipe for 3 years now. DELICIOUS and MOIST and comes out tall!!! I do not use coffee cans, but a Tube Pan (much like a bundt pan, but the center is removable from the base). I cook it at the same temperature and same time. A Nice Touch! I brush egg whites on the top of the Babka after te first process of "baking for 15 minutes @400 Degrees"...AND after a while I do notice it turning brown, I then cover it w/foil. It has turned out perfect each time!~..2 LARGE/TALL Babkas every year (very moist!) for the past 3 years!

I was so disappointed in this recipe. It turned out awful for me. I was so hopeful and followed it to the "t" but was greatly disappointed.

I made this recipe because I have been trying to find the perfect PASKA recipe. This is just as I remember and love. Breakfast this week has been divine with toasted babka. Thank you so much I can't wait to start baking them for Easter! I also made the dough in my bread machine then baked in the oven, 1/2 the recipe fit in my machine, and baked in a 2 lb can.

I didn't have my (Polish) grandmother's recipe on hand, but this worked perfectly. It tasted just as like Babcia's! Helpful Hint: you may want to fill the loaves with lekvar.
