Yeast cake and oranges. Delicious, orange, braided baba

Chalka is a yeast bread that we usually prepare in the form of a braided braid. This challah is also braided, but a little different. Thanks to this technique, we can place the braided dough in a round mold and bake the yeast baba.

Cake and oranges. Add juice and orange zest, candied orange zest and orange liqueur to the challah. So the challah is very orange.

Sprinkle the baked and cooled challah with powdered sugar. We can also, while still hot, spread honey punch. The cake will be even more orange. To prepare the punch, we need to mix a tablespoon of honey with a little orange liqueur or juice.

The best form for baking this challah will be a 26 cm form. We can also bake a cake in a slightly smaller mold, then the challah will be higher, like the one in the photo.
