Cheese Babka anybody make it ?

[tropics]

Looks like Dad used to Bake! Dad baked Babka for fun as there were plenty of Polish Delis where we lived. The Cheese Babkas growing up were these 16" round Monsters that were great and loaded with sweet Farmers Cheese.
Dad's first attempt was going to be Epoch. He researched Polish Cookbooks and Recipes from the Church News letters, got all the ingredients including a Dozen Egg Yolks and a Pound of Cheese. He mixed and kneaded by hand and sat at the Oven watching it Bake. The result was a thing of Beauty. Dad called the family together and sliced 1 1/4" slices. The Babka still warm smelled amazing! First bite, everyone spit it out!!!! Dad had accidentally put 1 TABLESPOON of Salt when the recipe called for 1 teaspoon!
Heartbroken and disappointed, we all started laughing and the lesson was learned, no measuring mistake was ever made again! Dad gave it a go the next weekend and made a Delicious Cheese Babka....JJ

Thanks for the chuckle
