Babka is a polish sweetbread, usually made with cinnamon and nuts, but I like mine with chocolate, and some coffee ice cream. To make your babka, you'll need the following;
- 1 cup milk
- 5 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup lukewarm water (105 to 115 degrees)
- 1 package dry yeast
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
- a bundt cake pan
Pour your milk into a small pan, and turn your heat on to medium,
And cook until it is just about ready to boil. You'll know it's gonna, because it will start to form bubbles all around the edges. When it does, remove from heat, and throw in your butter, and stir occasionally to mix.
Put your lukewarm water in a large bowl, sprinkle your yeast over it, and then stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar. After sitting for a few minutes, it will start to thicken up and emit a smell not unlike beer.
Wait until the milk is cool enough to touch without burning, or cheat like I did,
If you have a standing mixer, it makes this recipe much easier. Pour your milk into the yeast bowl, add the rest of your sugar and the salt, and mix with your dough hook, or a wooden spoon, and add 5 cups of flour, one cup at a time.
