Description

This traditionally Jewish chocolate babka is taken to another level with its addition of zesty orange. The perfect combination for sweet braided bread. 

Method

Step 1 of 6

Pre-heat the oven to 160°C. Dissolve the yeast in the warmed milk and 1 tsp of sugar. Stir until fully dissolved and set aside.

Step 2 of 6

Cream the butter together with the rest of the sugar in another mixing bowl. Mix in the yeast and 1 tbs of orange juice and once its all combined fully, allow to sit for 2 hours covered.

Step 3 of 6

Sprinkle some flour on a dry and clean counter top and roll out your dough as much as possible.

Step 4 of 6

Now evenly spread the chocolate spread over one side and then evenly sprinkle the zest from the orange. Then roll the entire dough spread into 1 long roll.

Step 5 of 6

Twist the dough around a few times, then fold in half and plaid the 2 sticks together. Place some baking paper into a suitable baking dish and place the babka. Lightly brush some egg whites over the top.

Step 6 of 6

Bake for 20 minutes, then turn the babka over, brush again with more egg whites and bake for another 20 minutes before serving.
