  • Rich and decadent, this chocolate Babka is a delicious enriched bread that has ribbons of chocolate running throughout it. This visually stunning chocolate babka is perfect for any occasion and any meal. Enjoy both loaves immediately, or freeze one for later!
    RECIPE: preppykitchen.com/chocolate-b...
    If you’ve never had chocolate babka before, then all you need to know is that it’s half bread, half cake, and 100% delicious! This yeast-based dough is sweet, soft, and buttery, making it hard to have just one slice. I also love how beautiful each slice is thanks to the layers of chocolate throughout the babka bread.

    I make a dozen babka every Christmas and give them to neighbours and family. I use ground walnut filling as that’s more Christmassy to me. Such a good one to make, always a success.

  • @javruletz
    @javruletz Před 2 lety +5

    It brought some dear childhood memories on ❤️ We make this in Romania as well, especially for Christmas and Easter. The main difference is that the dough is set aside to proof in a warm place, away from any draft. In my half Ukrainian family, we use a delicious walnut filling, but the most common filling used in my country is a mixture of walnut and cocoa + Turkish delight little cubes and/or raisins which, in my opinion, is a bit too much... Now, the most difficult part would be to convince myself to put the dough in the fridge 🤭 But, since I never failed so far following your instructions... Thanks, John! It's always a pleasure to learn from you!

    I’ve never made a Babka in my life neither did I know what it was but I was intrigued and being an avid home baker decided to try it out and thus followed this recipe to the T! I’m making my fourth Babka right now and I’m also going to make 16 which will be Christmas presents for my family and friends!!! This loaf is down right DELICIOUS and I believe this is the best recipe there is. Weldone sir!

    Hi John. I recently baked your vanilla bunt cake with a glaze icing. My wife said it is the best cake I’ve ever baked. I admit I am one to change things a bit. I added the zest of one lemon to the batter along with juice from 1/2 the lemon. I saved the other half juice for the glaze icing. It is very tasty. Thanks for the great recipe.

  • @code4dragon256
    @code4dragon256 Před rokem +1

    Made these two Babkas today, very tasty. Definitely recommend anyone attempting this to make sure the dough is really cold, work the dough very fast, and let the chocolate filling warm up before spreading. Right out of the fridge is too cold and it won’t spread.

    @JFongStyle Před 2 lety +67

    I've always wanted to try making a chocolate Babka, and when I saw John's new video, I thought, "wow, I can do this." And I did! The recipe is so easy to follow, and the ingredients were mostly things I already had in the kitchen. And watching the video made me feel like I was doing everything right step by step. This Babka is fantastic! I have one tip to offer. After rolling up the dough in a tube, put it on a tray in the freezer for a few minutes, and it will be easier to give it a clean slice in half. The first one I made got a little messy because the dough had warmed up and the knife did not go through it well. So for the second one, I tried the freezer trick and it worked great. Both came out perfectly after baking, though! Thank you John! (I tried the lemon blueberry cake a few weeks ago, and that was beyond amazing. My first layer cake ever.)

      I always read the comments before trying a new recipe and I’m so thankful I did. I made the chocolate babka for the first time tonight. I followed your tip and placed the rolled up dough in the freezer for a few minutes. With the dough and chocolate chilled, it was so easy to cut! There was no chocolate mess to clean up! Thanks for the tip!

    Terrific recipe, made it just as instructed and it's fantastic. Had Jewish foodie friends in for brunch - and they pronounced it as "perfect texture, flavour and density, just as babka is supposed to be" so I was happy. Gorgeous flavour. Only thing I did differently was that I held the pre-proven, woven babkas in their tins (covered) overnight, then proved and baked early this morning to avoid getting into the rolling and assembly this morning. Several steps in this recipe but dead easy, just takes some time. Thx for the great recipe!
