My chocolate babka recipe that I make using Nutella as a chocolate spread. The Nutella has a lovely hint of hazelnut and so it adds a nutty twist to the Babka.
What is Babka?
Babka is a sweetish, braided bread that originated in the Jewish communities of Poland and Ukraine. It’s usually made with a yeasted dough that’s rolled out and spread with a filling, then braided and baked in a loaf pan. The result is a loaf shaped light sweet bread that has streaks of the filling adding a unique flavour to the sweet bread. The most common fillings are chocolate, cinnamon, fruit, and cheese, but there are endless variations.
