  • Edan Leshnick of Breads Bakery in NYC makes decadent chocolate babka in the Munchies Test Kitchen. Edan starts with the dough, made with whole milk, eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla, butter, yeast, and two kinds of flour. The mixture is blended slowly in a stand-up mixer to form the babka’s stretchy gluten texture.
    After letting the it rest, Edan rolls the dough into a long, thin sheet, spreads on a layer of Nutella, and sprinkles in chocolate chips. Then, Edan rolls the dough tightly into a roulade to create lots of layers. After cutting his roulade in half, he braids the dough into its famous babka shape, places it into molds, and bakes. Finally, when the babkas come out of the oven, he covers the crust with his simple syrup resulting in a sweet, caramelized treat you won’t want to share.

    Love your passion for Babka and wonderful teaching style. Enjoyable to follow. Thanks!!
    I’ve heard wonderful things about the Breads Bakery Chocolate Nutella Babka recipe so I decided to try the recipe posted on the Breads Bakery web site but it came out more like dense bread instead of Babka… and now I see why. The posted Breads Bakery recipe is not at all what you show in your video. Different ingredients (milk vs water) among many other important differences. The recipe says to follow the Breads Bakery challah recipe (which I did) up to the braiding and filling part. For anyone reading this - don’t bother. It’s not very good. The dough is incredibly dense.
    I was about to trash the Breads Bakery Nutella Babka recipe and move on to one that I typically follow (and love) for cinnamon Bab - just sub the filling with Nutella - but I will try your version first in case I am missing out on a truly magical Babka moment. :-)
    Thanks!

    He definitely should start his own YT channel. I'd watch every single episode

    I’m dying to make this recipe. This looks exactly like what I want when I crave babka. That glistening glaze on top is perfection.
    Any guidance on how to convert the yeast measurement if I’m using dry??I don’t have fresh yeast available near me.
    Please and thank you!
