Recipe - Naomi Tgis Babka Doughs
babka dough posted above – but for this dairy version I used: 1 1/4 c 2%milk for my liquid ingredients
and (unsalted) softened butter as my fat of choice, I also used � � from the farmers market for extreme
richness factor.
Sweet cheese fillings:
Filling 1-
*Honey Pecan*( wet base) -1 package Philadelphia honey pecan cream cheese spread –
1/2 c sugar –
1 egg yolk –
6 tbsp sugar –
1 egg yolk –
*whip the ingredients for the base layer together until combined and chill until set aside.
*Mix the ingredients for the dry dust and store in an airtight container or ziplock bag.
*when dough has risen ( you should end up with approx 3 portions) Roll Out dough into a long /thin
rectangle & spread with wet filling, sprinkle with (optional) pecan chips or cinnamon chips for texture/
crunch and then sprinkle with dry “dust” to keep everything together before rolling

Last “legend-dairy” heavenly, buttery, quick and easy dessert I’m going to post. In fact the dough is only 2
ingredients and you can use it for sweet or savory!
2 ingredient”puff pastry” dough
1 1/4 cup very cold butter (unsalted!)
1/2 cup very cold water ( you may need more)
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour ( all purpose)
Put the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse just to mix. Next add cold butter; cubed
& pulse 10-12 times until pea sized morsels develop.
Add water & pulse again 10-12 (more times until the dough forms a ball). At that point stop. If the dough
is very dry add a bit of water & continue pulsing.
Flour your work surface and then transfer dough from the processor onto the counter. ( wear gloves!)
knead the dough into itself approximately 10 times ( bring the end to the center and repeat)
Roll into a rectangle (12x18”) Fold the long ends towards the middle so they meet. Take the right side&
bring it towards the center; and bring the left side over the right side. Wrap in plastic & chill min 2 hours.
When you’re ready to work with it remove from fridge; unwrap; divide into 2 place the unused half back
in the fridge ( wrapped up) Finally Roll/shape as desired.
I used chocolate baking sticks & played around.
Other ideas:
Straws-
1/4 - 1/2 cup shredded�
1/4 - 1/2 cup grated parm

Roll dough into an 1/8" thick oval, sprinkle cheese on the top half of oval, bring up the bottom to cover
the top, brush with egg ; sprinkle w/sprinkle w/cheese mix & slice into 1/2 “ strips, twist &place on
parchment paper lined cookie sheets. Bake~20 minutes or until golden.
Apple filling-

1/2 tsp cin
1 �( peeled; cored; thinly sliced). Mix everything together.
To shape:

seal using the teeth of a fork. Egg. Sprinkle w/sugar.

Add milk; yeast and sugar into the bowl of a stand mixer; when yeast bubbles add eggs followed by
spices , salt and and butter. Mix; add flour as needed until dough forms.
Cover and rise ( I slow rise mine; and I use within 24 hrs ) if rising at room temp you will need to wait till
dough doubles in size; time depends on the temperature in your home. Can be anywhere from 30 mins
to 3 hours.
Remove from fridge and allow to warm slightly enough to handle. Divide into 2 ( recipe yields 2!) Roll.
Fill. Roll. Slice. Twist. Rise. Bake at 350 like your would a regular babka:)
Ps- you can use whatever fillings you want! ( pizza sauce, pesto etc)
Check out yesterday’s bagel bomb post for more details. Optional-brush the dough with garlic butter and
sprinkle with dried Italian seasoning and or fresh oregano and basil leaves.

Not quite Rugelach , not quite babka but they’re off the charts amazing and the filling is where it’s at!
Sweet cheese 2.0- with (optional) lotus cookie butter infusion:
8 oz container of mascarpone cheese
8 oz container of whipped cream cheese
1 c of granulated sugar ( add 2 tbsp more to sweeten this up even more)
2 tbsp vanilla bean paste
2 egg yolk
Using your Whip attachment, add everything into a bowl and whip until everything is combined and
thick.
You can divide this mixture in half (keep half plain ) and add 1/2 c of melted lotus cookie butter into the
mixer bowl with the remaining half of the cheese filling ( alternatively you can use A chocolate hazelnut
spread or whatever you desire). Spread over your dough;
Sprinkle with cookie crumbs ( optional) and don’t forget to add your chocolate or vanilla pudding/ sugar
thickening blend to keep your sweet cheese filling contained; this tried and true concoction also creates
a sweet, Caramelized, crunchy crust as it bakes in addition to the ( optional) crumb topping... drool

SweetRoll Buns
*1 1/4 c @elmhurst1925 Hazelnut milk +1 tbsp sugar *1 packet yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
*1 egg *1/4 c melted butter, margarine /oil * *1 package dry (instant) chocolate pudding mix *3.5-4 c
bread/high gluten flour( if you’re using a bread maker use 3.5 c flour) *1/2 tsp pink salt
*Add sugar& yeast to Liquid & stir to combine. Within a few minutes the yeast should begin to bubble
which lets you know it’s alive. *Add milk,butter,egg&mix . *Add entire package pudding mix ,3.5 cups
flour( you can add more if needed) & salt ( if you’re using a bread machine according to manufacturers
directions & start dough cycle)
Mix until a cohesive dough forms(wear gloves) allow the dough to rest a few mins and continue to
knead. Set aside( covered) and allow to rise. CT’d
Once dough has risen, roll your dough into a rectangular(ish) shape. I like my dough rolled 1/4” thick for
max filling:dough ratio. Generously spread wet filling over the dough and then sprinkle on the dry. Use
your rolling pin to gently roll the dry over the wet so it adheres. * Roll-starting from the longest side
closest to you, roll away from yourself. Push the dough with your thumbs, tuck; pull and roll to form a
tight spiral. Cut with dental floss ( or a sharp knife) place on a parchment lined baking sheet, cover and
allow to rise. Preheat oven to 375 degrees, bake for 15-20 mins.
Filling: use my sweet cheese filling ( check out my posts from Shavuos last year!) sprinkle with chocolate
lava powder before rolling.
Cream cheese Glaze:
2 oz cream cheese softened
7 tbsp unsalted room temp butter
1.5 c sifted confectioners sugar
A pinch of salt
1/2 two vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
2-3 tbsp milk or milk alternative
Cream cc and butter ( you can make it parve as well) add sugar; thin with milk ( I used sweet cream
coffee creamer or whatever flavor you like or non dairy creamer/ nut milk) spread over buns.
Melt chocolate spread and drizzle over the top using a ziplock or piping bag with the tip snipped off
