Chocolate Babka (Sourdough, Parve?)
I just finished writing up the recipe on my blog.
You can find it here http://foolishpoolishbakes.wordpress.com/2008/12/18/chocolate-babka-sourdough/
I'm not sure if the recipe qualifies as Parve. If there's anybody who can give me a definitive answer, I'd be most appreciative.
Thanks,
FP

All your ingredients as listed are parve. The margerine is the biggie. Some margerines say they are non-dairy, but government standards of non-dairy are looser than religious ones. The product would need to be certified as parve.
The other strict detail is the equipment. A parve babka mixed and baked in dairy pans would be labeled as such. Some certifiying agencies just lump them with dairy goods.
I keep kosher in the strictest sense, so you might find other answers. I hope this helps you.

PS Your babka looks wonderful. I also found a sourdough babka recipe I've been wanting to try. This is inspiring. Thanks.
Thanks for that info Marni. That was v. helpful - much appreciated.
