Garlic Herb Babka Bread

Stir warm milk, yeast, and sugar together and let sit 5–10 minutes until foamy.

Mix in flour, salt, and butter until a soft dough forms.

Knead dough 6–8 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Cover and let rise in a warm place 45 minutes until doubled.

Mix garlic, herbs, and olive oil to form a spreadable paste.

Roll dough into a large rectangle and spread filling evenly.

Roll tightly into a log, slice lengthwise, and twist strands together.

Shape into a ring, cover, and rise 15 minutes.

Bake at 375°F for 25–30 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Cool slightly before slicing and serving.
