Bread-Bakers v002.n025.1

I grew up going to school in the "Greenpoint" section of Brooklyn


where the Babci's (affectionate term form Grandma, in Polish) always
had BABKA bread available for their favorite children :-)

Store bought bread of this type just doesn't do it.

I'd appreciate a recipe anyone has whittled down to suit the
1.5 pound size bread machine(s) for either
Plain Babka or
Raisin Babka Bread

It "almost" tastes like the Italian Pannetone bread but without
the candies in it :-)

Thank you!

best,
patt
