Jelly Donut Babka

Babka is a sweet braided bread which originated in the Jewish communities of Poland and Ukraine. Typically made with a filling of cinnamon or chocolate, this variation is made using fruit preserves. Making any babka can be very messy, to help in the splitting and braiding, I suggest placing the un-cut, rolled logs, wrapped in plastic wrap, in the freezer prior to cutting.
