chocolate babka

Twisted sweet bread

Chocolate babka is a sweet yeast bread with swirls of chocolate filling throughout, originating in Eastern European Jewish baking.

The dough is rolled with chocolate paste or ganache, then twisted or braided before baking, creating distinctive ribbons of chocolate when sliced.

We picked up a chocolate babka from the bakery for brunch.
