If you don’t know, babka is a layered, buttery brioche pastry created with beautiful swirls of (traditionally) cinnamon or chocolate, but this babka recipe from Joanne Chang of Flour Bakery uses Nutella instead. You can use store-bought Nutella if you prefer, but you will need a loaf pan if you don’t have one.
See tips on baking with yeast if you’re new to it.
