Prepare the dough —
Mix in bowl: water, yeast, sugar, oil, flour & eggs.
Knead it well into a soft, pleasant dough.
Allow the dough to rise for half an hour. Roll it out with a rolling pin.
Mix all ingredients for the filling.
Spread the filling onto the dough, and form your desired shape.
Allow the dough to rise a second time, until it has doubled in size.
Bake at 200C for 15 minutes, until golden brown.
Melt ½ cup of sugar in ½ cup of boiling water and brush it onto the Babka cake or rugelach.
