Recipe: Sticky Caramel-Pecan Babka Loaves
It all started a few months back when Faith connected me with Jerry James Stone and his Three Loaves project. Jerry’s simple idea, an easy intro to giving, is that we all make three loaves: one to keep, one for a friend, and one to give to someone in need. A great project with a solid goal, so when Jerry asked if The Kitchn wanted to contribute a recipe, we jumped at the chance. But what to make? A sandwich loaf felt practical, but … yawn. I wanted to make something really special.
