Chanie just play with what the dairy products you have, until you get a nice filling: Cottage cheese, cream cheese and sour cream, that will do the trick:-)

Ben I would simply make another babka. Cheese babka needs the cheese. Close enough and delicious: This is the pareve variation I would recommend http://www.levanacooks.com/almond-streusel-coffee-cake-recipe/

Rosalie the sum total of the sugar used is very low. It doesn’t matter how the sugar is distributed between the dough and the filling, this is still a very low sugar total. So the sugar is not the culprit here. I must tell you, this recipe is tried and true. AS always with all yeast doughs, please be patient, practice makes perfect. You’ll look like a pro very soon. Make sure your dough rises in a warm place, away from drafts, covered, etc…. All these hints with yeast dough, I have no doubt you are familiar with, but just in case….

I tried to make this recipe and my yeast wouldnt rise. I’ve made many yeast products and never saw such a large amount of sugar used to get the yeast to rise. Could you tell me what I’m missing in understanding your directions? Thanks so much.
