A little about one of our favorite treats:
Babka has been around for a while, but not as long as so many of the other amazing Jewish breads. Only in the mid- to late-1800’s was it first invented by the Polish Ashkenazi Jewish masters of the sweet breads. The legend has it that grandmothers didn’t grow all that big back in those days, and those diminutive gram-grams, at some point, began filling leftover challah dough with jam and spices during Shabbat. It’s name is derived from the Polish word for “little grandmother”, and believe this: when you take your first bite, you can almost sense a pocket-sized granny placing her warm, sweet hands on your cheeks, looking you deep in the eyes and saying “Jeść! Jedz, maleńka! Jesteś skórą i kośćmi!” (eat, eat little one! You’re skin and bones!)
