Life Bakers of ChiefsPlanet... show us your breads (and other baked goods)!

I've been baking most of our bread for the past year or so. It has consisted, mostly, just white sammich bread and potato bread for dinner rolls. My sister-in-law got me to watch "The Great British Bake Off" and I felt inspired to try baking some stuff that is just a bit more difficult than plain white bread.

Today I decided to make a Babka which is a sweet bread (or cake) that is braided... very popular within Jewish communities.

Finished Product:

The process:

Flatten out the dough and cover it with chocolate filling topped with chopped nuts. (the chocolate filling was also home made)

Roll up the dough, cut the ends off, and slice the roll right down the middle with a sharp knife. Flip the rolls so that the chocolate filling is facing up and braid them together. Put the bread in a baking tin.

Bake the bread per the instructions.

Glaze with a sugar syrup (home made and SUPER easy).

Served best when warm but room temp also works. My rolling will be MUCH tighter next time to get more swirls within the bread.

I also made a tear and share mozz and garlic bread the other day... the top was excellent but the bottom was slightly burned.
