For an extra touch of flavor, consider adding a hint of orange or lemon zest to the dough. If you don't have walnuts, pecans or other nuts can be used as a substitute. A simple glaze of powdered sugar and milk (or lemon juice) elevates the presentation and adds sweetness. To ensure a rich and tender crumb, use high-quality butter and fresh eggs. For easier slicing, chill the babka slightly before cutting.
