This family recipe is perfect for
all types of babka
chocolate, cheese or cinnamon

 
Place the flour in your mixer bowl.  Add the yeast and sugar.  Add all the other ingredients and knead 10-12 minutes until it has formed a smooth dough.  Remove from the bowl and allow it to rise 40 minutes. 
Prepare the streusel by mixing all ingredients at high speed in a mixer or food processor until it resembles crumbs. Don’t over mix or it will come together.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  spray or line 3 medium loaf pans. We like real ones.
Divide dough in thirds and roll out one piece into a rectangle approximately 14"x10".  Spread generously with filling.  Roll up the dough jellyroll-style. Place in a prepared pan.
Brush the cakes generously with egg wash. Sprinkle streusel over buns or Babka and place the pans on a cookie sheet or jelly roll pan to catch drips.
Bake 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven and cool.
