For the first time, you’ll do more than cut and fold as you twist a bakery-style babka loaf. Now, you’re not just kneading flour and water, but creating caramelized cocoa ribbons within. Your family may never look at bread the same and you’ll surely leave the kitchen changed, thanks to the hands-on learning, new skills, and all the fun memories you will make together. What your family will learn: The fermentation process for enriched doughs: Learn what supports and hinders the fermentation of your dough enriched with sugar, butter, and honey. How to create a babka filling: Explore which ingredients create an easy-to-distribute filling that will caramelize and blend into your babka. Shaping techniques: Master the babka twist and explore how the shape of the dough contributes to a flavor that’s as wow-worthy as the appearance. Ways to finish off a babka: See into the science of how egg wash and glaze add moisture and gloss to your finished babka. Bonus Beyond the Bread Activities Watch snacks react to moisture: Take a deeper look into science while feeding your kids’ curiosity! Explore hygroscopy and how sugar steals water using bread, crackers, and cake. See who braids best: Take on a braiding challenge and see who can tackle three different braids best. Challenge your knowledge afterwards with a quick test on braid type to honor the twists in your babka!
