Braided brioche Babka
La Meringaie’s Babkas revisit the traditional Polish Babka
This brioche, appreciated for its soft and crispy texture, is ideal for pastry lovers. Our artisanal recipe combines the softness of the brioche with the satisfaction of a crunchy crust, offering a modern twist to this Eastern European specialty.
Origin and Tradition of the Babka
The Babka, which means "grandmother" in Polish, is a festive brioche often prepared for Easter and Christmas. At La Meringaie, we honor this tradition: the brioche dough is braided, giving it a soft and crispy texture after baking.
It is even better when warmed in the oven.
All varieties of babka from La Meringaie
Chocolate Babka: The ultimate indulgence; a layer of chocolate before braiding. Full of character and deliciousness.
Cinnamon Babka: The cinnamon roll babka is well-balanced; perfect for all cinnamon fans.
Pink Praline Babka: Pink praline pieces in the brioche dough before braiding and as a topping before baking. It’s crunchy, it’s melty, it’s delightful.
Plain Babka: Just good ingredients, the braiding technique, which is key for the babka's texture, and a lot of love. A hint of Kouign Amann.
