My final bake for 2022 is the Chocolate Babka. It’s a delicious brioche dough with a chocolate filling and a yummy streusel on top. Did I mention how much I love streusel toppings? Best to plan ahead with this dough, but once it’s ready, it’s has multiple uses. For instance, I just made one babka, and formed the remaining dough into a simple loaf. (It’s in the oven now, and the house smells divine.)
Although the babka looks complicated, it’s really quite straightforward. The filling was nice and thick, which meant it didn’t squish out when rolling. Plus, letting it air dry for several minutes helps. Before slicing it, I put the roll back into the refrigerator so it would firm up a bit, and that helped as well. All in all, it was a very successful bake. (I did play around with an alternate method of making the brioche dough, and that seemed to work out just fine.)
Looking forward to the 2023 baking selections! It should be another wonderful year for the Tuesdays with Dorie baking group.
