Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon instant yeast
- 1/2 cup whole milk, warmed to about 110°F
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix well to combine.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the warmed milk, melted butter, egg, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until a dough forms.
- Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
- Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
- Sprinkle the cocoa powder evenly over the dough, followed by the chocolate chips.
- Starting from one long edge, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal.
- Cut the log in half lengthwise to expose the chocolate filling. Twist the two halves together and shape into a spiral or coil.
- Place the twisted dough into a greased baking dish and let it rise for another 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Bake the babka rolls for 25-30 minutes or until they are set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Allow the rolls to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar and serving.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of espresso powder to the cocoa mixture.
- You can substitute the semi-sweet chocolate chips with dark chocolate or white chocolate for a different taste experience.
