2. To make crumb topping, blend ingredients together with a fork until crumbly. Chill both until ready to use.

3. Lightly grease a 4-1/ 2 x 8-1/2 inch loaf pan. . On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough into a 10 x 20 inch rectangle. Cover with filling up to 1 inch from the edges.

4. Roll up lengthwise, jelly roll fashion. . Pinch seam and ends securely together so that they don't open during baking.

5. Carefully place babka in prepared pan.

6. Fold ends under and shape into an S so that it fits into pan. Cover with a clean kitchen cloth and let rise until doubled in size.

7. Preheat oven to 350 ºF.

8. Form a crease in the top of the risen babka with the side of your hand. Brush with egg wash and cover with crumb topping.
