Think cinnamon toast meets cinnamon roll. This cinnamon babka has a crunchy texture on the outside, is tender on the inside, and the cinnamon filling is similar to the gooeyness of a cinnamon roll. A perfectly delicious breakfast or dessert bread. Serve warm or toast and serve with butter or cream cheese.
