Chocolate Babka

This recipe was time consuming, but totally worth it! I recommend refrigerating the dough overnight because it really does wonders to the flavor. I didn’t add the syrup though, it was sweet enough and the crumb was already beautiful. Also when it says it makes two servings, that means two loaves. I’d say each loaf is about 8 servings.

1st time making babka- yep, it’s lot of work but a big payoff! I did one pre-shaping rise in fridge for 15 hours. Made 1 reg size loaf and three minis. The minis were harder to braid, also browned very fast in oven. Amazing flavor, especially the fudge and streusel.
