CHOCOLATE BABKA RECIPE ❤️

Babka is a sweet braided bread. It is prepared with a yeast-leavened dough that is rolled out and spread with a filling of choice like chocolate, cinnamon, fruit, etc. Then it’s rolled up and braided before baking.

Ingredients:
Maida/All-purpose Flour: 250gm
Brown Sugar: 25gm
Active Dry Yeast: 5gm
Salt: A pinch
Milk: 150gm
Butter: 25gm
Dark Chocolate: 50gm
Soft Butter: 50gm
Cocoa Powder: 10gm
Cinnamon Powder: 2gm
Sugar Syrup: using 20gm brown sugar + 30gm water

Recipe:
1. To a mixing bowl, add maida/all-purpose flour, brown sugar, active dry yeast, a pinch of salt and milk. Either using a stand mixer or with hands, knead to form a dough. Add butter once the dough has formed. Cover and let it rest for 1 hour.

2. Once doubled in size, roll it out and pre-shape it like a log (as shown in the video). Again, cover and rest till it triples in size.

3. Filling: Using a double-boiler, melt together dark chocolate, butter, brown sugar, cocoa powder and cinnamon powder.

4. Once the dough has tripled in size, roll it out flat to a big rectangle using some flour. Apply the chocolate filling evenly leaving 1 inch on all sides.

5. Roll it like a log and then cut it from the centre as shown in the video. Braid both of them together and divide into two equal parts. Pinch the ends.

6. Transfer them to two separate baking tins with parchment paper and let them rest for 2 hours for final proofing.

7. Finally, brush with some milk and bake at 180C for 25 mins.

8. Prepare a syrup using 20gm brown sugar and 30gm water.

9. Once the bread has baked to a beautiful golden brown, take it out, immediately brush with the sugar syrup, let it cool down, cut into slices, serve and enjoy!
