Slow Winter Baking | Cookies, Biscotti & Comfort Cakes

Описание: This week’s video is all about slowing down and baking just for the joy of it.
A quiet winter day in the kitchen, making a few simple treats — cookies, biscotti, and cozy cakes — with no rush and no agenda.
If you enjoy calm cooking, gentle voiceovers, and the rhythm of baking through the seasons, I hope this video feels like a warm pause in your day 🤍

Babka Recipe (written below)
Dough:
5 lbs. flour
3 sticks margarine
1 cup oil
1½ cups sugar
2 tbsp vanilla sugar
1 tsp salt
4 eggs
4 egg yolks
3 tbsp dry yeast
2¾ cups warm water
¾ cup orange juice
Dry Filling:
2 cups cocoa
2 cups confectioners sugar
4 cups sugar
1 package instant chocolate pudding
4 tbsp vanilla sugar
Wet Filling:
2 cups dry filling
¼ cup oil
5–6 tbsp hot water
Streusel Topping:
½ stick margarine
¾ cup flour
¼ cup sugar
Proof the yeast in the warm water with 1 tbsp of the sugar.
Add the remaining dough ingredients and knead until smooth and elastic.
Cover and let rise 35 minutes to 1 hour, until doubled in size.
While the dough rises:
Prepare the dry filling by combining all ingredients in a bowl.
Prepare the wet filling in a second bowl.
In a third bowl, mix the streusel topping until crumbly.
Once risen, divide dough into 400–450 g portions.
Roll each portion into a rectangle.
Spread with wet filling, then sprinkle with some dry filling.
Roll up jelly-roll style and twist into a babka shape.
Place into a lined loaf pan and sprinkle with streusel.
Repeat with remaining dough.
Place babkas into a cold oven, then turn oven on to 340–345°F (170–175°C).
Bake for 35–40 minutes, until set.
Cool completely before slicing.
❄️ Freezes very well.
