Babka usually has a sweet filling, however this savoury babka with homemade pesto filling is equally impressive. Babka is very easy to make. Unlike classic braided bread, however, the yeast dough rolls are not braided in the traditional way but rather cut open lengthwise and twisted into a loaf. This is what creates the beautiful pattern.

Yeast dough

Mix the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in a bowl. Add the margarine and soya milk, mix, knead to form a soft, smooth dough. Cover the dough and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 1½ hrs. until doubled in size.

Pesto filling

In a blender, puree the basil with all the other ingredients until smooth.

To shape

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle (approx. 40 x 25 cm), cover with the pesto filling, roll up from the long edge. Cut the roll in half lengthwise, braid the strands with the cut sides facing up, place in the prepared loaf tin.

To bake

Approx. 40 mins. in the lower half of an oven preheated to 180°C. Remove from the oven, allow to cool slightly, remove from the tin and leave to cool completely on a rack.
