I have some pre-made babka dough. The instructions say to roll it up (w/filling inside) like a jelly roll, then crease in center, fold in half, and "twist to make babka"
What is this twisting maneuver? I've eaten beautifully swirled babka a million times, but this is my first time making it.
On the other hand, if I don't twist it at all and leave as jelly roll, this is a kokosh cake, no?

Twist, like you're wringing out wet laundry.

after twisting....... (if you can figure out how to do it!!!!) place in a round tube pan. Will help give it a shape (structure) while baking.

Im thinking about putting some extra chocolate filling on top for color (instead of an egg wash) and making a simple crumb topping, yes.

babka's done! It didn't rise too high, but I'm sure it will taste amazing-- you can't really go wrong with dough, chocolate and crumb topping

After I'd folded it in half, I twisted it around a bit, like Marion said-- like wringing out laundry. Then the seamnin the dough started to come undone a bit, so I just stuck it in the loaf pan a bit twisted.
Won't know how it really worked until I cut it open Shabbos-- I'll report back!

my mom used to make babka all the time. the way we twisted it was to make 2 smaller jelly-rolls and then twist those two together, sort if like a challah but only with 2 strands. then we put it in a small loaf pan.
I guess it's too kate cause you made it already but I figured someone might want to know.
