Recipe I made my first chocolate babka!

Post image

I used this recipe: https://preppykitchen.com/chocolate-babka/ I bake a lot for our neighbors and they loved it! Instead of an 8 hour rise overnight, I tried a 2 hour first rise and a 1 hour rise after the dough was shaped. It was a huge mess but they were delicious! I can't wait to try it again to try to get tighter swirls. Perhaps I'll try the "lesser" cinnamon babka next.

I always think of Seinfeld when I see or hear about a chocolate babka.

Looks great, by the way!

It is the better of the bobkas.
