i'm going to try this out. it's tradition to make a polish babka every easter in our house, but i was left out of it this year because of the darn eggs in it! and i missed it :(

can't wait to make this. this bread is really nice with a hot cup of tea.

I made this once when my brother had to take it to school for some sort of presentation and it was kind of difficult. haha, I think I've improved on my cooking skill since then, though
