In reply to pat balars. I recommend 1/2 cup sprinkled right onto top of the cream cheese filling before you roll up the dough. That way they get tucked inside every swirl. If your raisins seem dry, soak them in warm water (or even a splash of rum or orange juice!) for about 10 minutes first, then pat them dry. They'll be plumper and juicier in the finished bread. I hope you'll stop back and let me know how it goes.

Absolutely delicious. I used buttermilk instead of regular milk and added golden raisins. The bread was very tender and moist.

I gave your Polish Babka recipe five stars because, let’s be honest, it turned out great, and judging by the smell in my kitchen it will taste incredibly delicious!
The aroma filled my home and it was an aroma that made your mouth water.
I cannot wait to try it on Easter morning with my Kielbasa and Easter eggs.
Thank you for sharing the recipe!

I always get a little nervous baking bread. This was so easy to follow and turned out perfectly!
