How to Make Babka Cinnamon Low Sugar Low Carbohydrate

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  3. Add eggs, melted butter (or oil), salt, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  4. Gradually add the almond flour and whole wheat flour, mixing until a soft dough forms.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine cinnamon and sweetener.
  7. Roll the dough into a 12x18 inch rectangle. Sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon-sweetener mixture.
  8. Tightly roll the dough into a log, starting from the long side.
  9. Cut the log in half lengthwise. Twist the two halves together and place in the prepared loaf pan.
  10. Cover and let rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  11. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
