I had some problems with this. There was no way I could knead the batter that resulted when I followed steps 1 through 3. I know babka usually results in a sticky dough, but I would have had to add much more flour to achieve a workable dough.

This is a very moist and lovely babka but I also had a bit of a problem with the dough. My half and half was expired so I used Half and Half Substitute, used half the sugar and 1 cup of flour for steps 1 and 2. After the mixture doubled in size I followed step 3 but I had a loose sticky dough that did not feel just right. I added an additional cup of flour and that did the trick. My babka did not have much flavor though and I think because I added the extra cup of flour and did not double the vanilla, almond extract, and lemon rind that was the problem. I tagged this for the Please Review My Recipe Game and needed to get my review submitted but would like to make this again as I am sure it would be a wonderful treat!
