Freezing babka: Yay or nay? I've got a surplus of babka and not enough mouths to devour it all in time. Wondering if freezing is a good option? Any pro tips for freezing and thawing without sacrificing flavor or texture?
Freezing babka is a yay! To freeze babka, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil to prevent freezer burn. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before reheating slices in the oven to restore its freshness and texture.
Freezing babka can work well to preserve it! I've found it helpful to slice the babka before freezing, so I can take out just what I need. Wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap and then foil to keep air out. When you're ready to enjoy, let it thaw at room temp to keep the texture intact. I've had success with this method and it's a great way to avoid wasting delicious babka!
Freezing babka is a great way to preserve it! Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge and reheat gently before serving.
