About

These are a cross between babka, a plaited brioche bread popular in Israel, and cinnamon buns. The result is these deliciously light and fluffy spice-laced treats. They are extremely moreish so make sure you have plenty of guests or a big family around when you make them.

100 ml milk
8 g yeast
18 g

Method

Warm the milk to body temp (around 35 to 37°C). Stir in the yeast and a pinch of the sugar from the ingredient amount, then put to one side for 15 minutes until it is foamy.
