One Punch Man… well lady
Ohhh where do I begin? This past week was so hectic/chaotic, my babka almost didn’t come to pass. But Lo and behold, here we are. I was anxious, excited, and absolutely determined. We all need a break from the day to day nonsense. And sometimes we find that break in bread (I mean bread and break are even almost spelled the same way). Making this was my break and I enjoyed myself BUT.. Can I just say I was SO SAD with the presentation?! My tight twist came out beautifully in the oven and I brushed my top with syrup and left for a while & returned to THAT. A giant hole. I had been running through every step in my brain of what I could’ve done wrong when I realized my mistake. I took my fist and punched it. Yes… yes I did. With all the frustration of the week I took it out on my babka. Never again. Maybe it’s because I’m young and haven’t figured out a good way to handle things yet. But moral of the story… Don’t punch your babka dough people. I kinda felt like that punch was going to come back to bite me but I went through with rolling it out and up anyways. I should’ve been patient and just let it proof again.
I also subbed AP Flour for Bread Flour because at the last minute I noticed I didn’t have Bread Flour. Typically that’s something I have on hand but it wasn’t a huge deal. Just got a good arm workout trying to knead and make sure my gluten was doing its thang. Dunno if that helped aid in my presentation failure or not.
Thank you to everyone who gave me tips, I had a lot of fun in the process. And it tasted SO GOOD. I just wish it was as cute as I wanted it to be. Welp! Sending this baby off to the nieces and nephews! They don’t care about presentation! 😂
Ps: I was stingy with the cinnamon filling and shouldn’t have been. Note to self; add more filling than you think you need. Sorry for the late update. If you all don’t mind I’ll be heading back to bed!
