Brilliant recipe! The preferment method combined with an ovrenight cold fermentation is such a smart approach for developing flavor without relying on gluten structure. What's interesting is how boiling the poppy seeds first softens their slightly bitter edge adn makes them way easier to grind into a smooth filling. Most babka recipes skip this step entirely.
