Baker's Bubka with Crumb Topping

It's not exactly bread, but it's not a cake either....but, it is fabulous! This bubka is made from a yeast-raised egg and butter rich dough, spread with a sweet filling, rolled jelly roll-style and topped with a crunchy, buttery crumble.

The first time I tried it, I made the sweet almond filling included in the recipe and baked it in a tube pan. Though it was delicious, I thought there was too much dough for the pan; I felt I could have made a loaf in addition to the tube. This time, I decided to bake loaves, and keeping my last experience in mind, I divided the dough among 3 pans instead of the recommended 2 - they were the perfect size. I also tried a chocolate filling from another recipe in the book and it was fantastic!

This would make a delicious addition to a breakfast/brunch table.
