This recipe is a combination of two: Holly's Challah with the addition of vanilla and orange zest to the dough and the chocolate filling from the Chocolate Krantz Cakes in Jerusalem. A few notes: If you want more guidance making the dough, check out the Holly's Challah post first. You can use at least one cup of whole wheat flour or white whole wheat flour in the dough. (Holly always does.) To create lukewarm water: use ¼ cup boiling water and ¾ cup cold water, which will give you perfect lukewarm water. To create a warm place for your bread to rise: Heat your oven for 1 minute, then shut it off. It doesn’t matter what temperature you set it to when you heat it; the key is to only allow it to heat for 1 minute. This brief blast of heat will create a cozy, draft-free spot for your bread to rise. To break up the process a bit, you can stop after you roll the dough into coils or when you place the shaped loaves into the loaf pans, cover the pans with plastic wrap, and place in fridge. The following morning, if your dough is in coils, simply proceed with the recipe; if your dough is in the pans, bring it to room temperature — make sure dough feels soft to the touch and is filling the pan — before proceeding with the recipe.

Oneg Bakery ships its legendary Chocolate Babka nationwide on Goldbelly! "The Chocolate Monster," is made with twice the amount of chocolate as Oneg's regular babka. The New York Times calls it "spectacular chocolate babka" for good reason. This traditional Hungarian loaf of braided dough is layered over and over again with a homemade mix of Dutch-process cocoa and sugar that forms an insanely delicious chocolate filling. If sliced while hot, you'll see the chocolate ooze out. Oneg Bakery was founded in the 1980s by two sisters who came to Brooklyn in the mid-1940s as refugees of World War II. Now run by their grandchildren, the traditional Hungarian Jewish bakery in South Williamsburg, Brooklyn, is famous for Brooklyn's biggest, baddest babka: the Double Chocolate Babka, the world's densest babka. Challah!
Chocolate babka, but double the chocolate! This very special babka has cocoa in the dough itself, lending an even richer chocolate taste to every bite.
Adapted from Honey & Co. Baking Book by Sarit Packer and Itamar SrulovichI used leftover cookie bits in the babka which dialed up the chocolate flavor beautifully, but you can omit them. (The recipe is the Chocolate Wafer Cookies in .) Or if you are on a nut-free diet, you can omit the nuts and just use the cookie (or brownie) bits.This can, of course, be made by hand without a stand mixer. Simply mix the ingredients for the dough in a mixer bowl, then turn the dough out onto a lightly floured countertop and knead until smooth. One interesting variation I saw was using spelt flour in this adaptation of the same recipe: .The original recipe said to chill the dough after the initial mixing, after step 3, for at least 6 hours, or overnight. I made it several ways – including once rolling it out right away, and it worked fine without the overnight in the refrigerator. But usually doughs like this improve if left to rest overnight, so if you can wait that long, I’d do that.
