BABKA
Yeast Cake
2 tbs. margarine
2 tbs. sugar
1/4 cup flour
2 yeast cakes
1 tbs. sugar
1/2 cup warm water
1/4 lb. margarine
1 cup white raisins
6 cups flour (stir before measuring)
1 cup milk
9 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
TOPPING: Melt 2 tbs. margarine in a pan. Remove from heat and add
2 tbs. sugar and 1/4 cup flour. Stir with a spoon to combine, then
work with your fingers until you achieve a crumb topping. Set
aside.
Break up yeast in a bowl and mix in 1 tbs. sugar. Combine well
until it liquefies. Stir in water. Set aside. Combine margarine
with milk and heat to scald. Cool to lukewarm.
Use a large bowl to beat egg yolks with sugar and then add the
milk mixture. Stir in the salt, raisins and yeast. Add the flour
all at once. Beat with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add
additional 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of flour and mix it in well with
your hand. Knead on a lightly floured surface about 10 minutes.
Round up the dough in a greased bowl, turn greased side up. Cover
with damp towel and let rise in a warm area approximately 2 1/2
hrs. (bulk will double.) Punch down and let rise 1 1/2 hrs. or until
double. Grease 10" tube pan. Punch down dough and place it in
tube pan, cover, and let rise for an hour or until double. Brush
top with 1 egg yolk beaten with 2 tsp. water.
Distribute crumb topping lightly and bake at 300 degrees for 1 1/2
hrs. Cool in pan 10 minutes.
