Pizza and babka are two iconic foods, each with their own dedicated fan bases. But what happens when you combine them? You get the delicious and unique creation known as pizza babka.
Pizza babka is a delicious dish that is perfect for all pizza lovers. It is easy to prepare, versatile and incredibly tasty. Whether you’re a fan of traditional pizza toppings or prefer something more adventurous, babka pizza is sure to delight your taste buds.
The beginnings of babka go back to the Jewish community of Eastern Europe. Babka is a sweet, leavened bread that has been enjoyed in Jewish households for centuries. It was usually filled with sweet ingredients such as chocolate or cinnamon, but eventually people began to experiment with savory fillings, including pizza fillings.
Babka pizza is a delicious and unique version of traditional pizza. This is a yeast dough bread that is filled with delicious pizza toppings. From the crispy crust to the melted cheese, every bite is a delicious experience. We spread the dough with pureed tomatoes and added vegan cheese, but you can fill it according to your taste. Add vegan “salami”, mushrooms, onions and create unique combinations.
Although it may seem that the dish is complicated to prepare, the process is actually quite simple, and below you can also watch a video recipe for easier preparation.
