Ingredients
For the yeast proofing:
1 Tbsp of regular or rapid rise yeast ( this will simply change the rising time)
1 tsp sugar
½ cup lukewarm water
For the dough:
4.5 cups sifted flour
1/3 cup regular white sugar
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp cinnamon
¾ cup plus 2 Tbsp butter or margarine, melted
½ cup milk or almond milk
2 eggs
For the chocolate filling:
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened )
1 cup melted dark chocolate ( chocolate button can be used as well!)
½ cup melted margarine
Put everything in a Bain marie or microwave it until smooth
if you prefer you can use store bought spread such as Nutella or a parve version the BEST is Delinut!)
For the oowey gooey syrup aka the magic:
2/3 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp cinnamon (optional)
If you want a bit of a kick, you can add 1tsp of rose water
STEP BY STEP:
Place yeast, sugar and warm water in a small bowl. Put aside until it bubbles , around 5 minutes
In a mixer with dough hook ( you can totally do this recipe by hand, it will be a bit longer to knead than with the mixer) , mix flour, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon.
In the pan where you melted the margarine/ butter add the milk/ or plant based milk , the fact that all the ingredients are warm will help the rising of the dough and will ensure a soft and supple dough!
Start your mixer on low while adding the proofed yeast little by little, then and margarine (butter) and milk (plant milk)mixture and finally add your room temperature eggs one by one ( don’t forget to check them before for blood spots!!)
When the dough is homogeneous, after about 3-4 minutes, change your speed to medium-high until the dough becomes way more elastic ( about 5 minutes depending on your mixer about 10 minutes if you are doing it by hand)
Pre-heat your oven at 350*F
Place your dough in a pre oiled container (bowl, big pot,…) and cover with a Saran Wrap or humid tea towel for about 1 to 2 hours depending on the type of yeast and or environment your dough is in: your reference point is that your dough should double in size
Depending on the size of your pan and the look you are going for this dough will give you 6 small individual babka or 3 loaf pan size babka or 2 large size round 8” spring pan.
Separate the dough in the amount of Babka you want, I like weighing my dough for even baking time
Roll the dough to form roughly a rectangle of about 1/4” thick and then put the chocolate filling or chocolate spread GENEROUSLY on the dough leaving a bit of the edges free for the “fold and roll” process to be easier
Fold the edge of the long side of the dough unto itself forming a small lip and then roll it as equally as you can, I usually use the side of my fingers to roll to have a larger surface to roll at the same time.
Once you reach the end of your dough and you have a log make sure the seam is at he bottom of the log and with a sharp knife, cut in the middle of the log twice to make sure it is completely separated
I like leaving the top edge of the log together to twist, once twisted and the chocolate well exposed, I will cut the other end of the log and tuck the edges
Place the chocolate swirl bread or Babka in a parchment lined pan.
Bake for 25-35 minutes depending on your oven and the size of your chocolate swirl bread as well as the nature of the pan: eg silicone will bake faster than glass
The magic will happen when you will add the rest of the sugar, water and “flavour” you want ( cinnamon, rose water, all spice,…) in a sauce pan bring to a light boil while mixing and create a light golden syrup ( some people will use corn syrup as a short cut!)
Around the 20 minutes mark, add 1/2 of the syrup on the Babkas while they are baking
When the Babkas /chocolate swirl bread are completely baked, brush the rest of the syrup on the chocolate swirl bread
CHESKY'S SECRET: Cover the chocolate swirl bread while still pipping hot with a tea towel: that will ensure that the moisture of the Babka is trapped in the Babka and will make for a moist and delicious result!
And voila you will have the best most delicious and easy babka
They can be frozen and enjoyed later
Stay safe and blessed

MEK Chocolate Babka
Chocolate babka makes a great holiday bread to bake for family get-togethers. This bread is so delicious and chocolaty that everyone will love it. The sweet and tender buttery dough is rolled with a rich chocolate spread that has a hint of warm cinnamon and is hyped with coffee granules. A slice of this bread can be served plain and does not need any spread.
Recipe is under the video tab in the long-form video description and also in the comment. I wish peace and joy to all of you.❤️
How to Make Babka (Chocolate Swirled ✔️ Orange Glazed ✔️ Completely Delicious ✔️ )
One of you has requested a how- to-make-babka video for months... here it is! Babka is super fun to make and though it is a bit more of a process than some breads, it's really not too complicated overall. Plus, know this: at any phase of the process, you can tuck the dough in the fridge and pick up where you left off the next day.
The base of this babka recipe is the dough for a favorite challah recipe with the addition of orange zest and vanilla. The chocolate filling is from the Jerusalem cookbook's chocolate krantz cake recipe. Some babka recipes call for water in the sugar syrup that the babkas get soaked in upon emerging from the oven, but here, I've used fresh-squeezed orange juice.

How to Make Chocolate Babka Muffins | Perfect Braided Mini Babka Bun Recipe
This fun sized babka is awesome and it is super easy to make. The four-strand braid will make you look like a pro even though it is the easiest thing in the world.
Soft and fluffy dough layered with a rich cocoa filling. You can customize it to your taste by choosing a different filling. The only thing to look out for is consistency as a runny filling will turn this into a nightmare.
If you have made babka, then you will be familiar with the process. Of course, there could be many variations to the dough. I chose a relatively low hydration, not too much fat and sugar and no preferments or sponge to make things as easy as possible.
You just need a few basic ingredients, which a lot of you will most likely have at home and you will need a few hours of waiting time. There is not much to say about this one.
The soft brown sugar used in each part of this bread gives it a nice richness and the glaze makes them shine with a dark brown colour.
