Making the Babka
- In a bowl, mix together warm milk, sugar, and yeast. Let sit until frothy.
- In a separate bowl, combine flour and salt.
- Add butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover, and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- Once risen, roll the dough into a rectangle.
- Spread softened cream cheese over the dough, then sprinkle blueberries on top.
- Roll the dough tightly, then twist and shape it into a loaf.
- Place the loaf in a greased baking pan and let rise for an additional 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Brush the loaf with the beaten egg wash and sprinkle turbinado sugar on top.
- Bake for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
