PREVIEW TEXT GOES HERE Chocolate Babka Babka is a braided yeast bread or cake hailing from the Jewish communities of Eastern Europe. It is prepared with an enriched bread dough, like challah or brioche, that is rolled out and spread with a sweet or savory filling, then rolled up and twisted before baking. Charmingly, the word "babka" comes from the Polish babcia, which translates to "grandmother," similar to the Yiddish word for grandmother, bubbe. The story goes that babka was created by resourceful Jewish grandmothers, who would repurpose leftover challah dough on Shabbat to make an early version of the bread. Traditional babka recipes called for oil instead of butter and weren't overly sweet, but over time the bread evolved into the buttery and dessert-like chocolate-filled babkas of today. Perhaps the most famous babka (after the one mentioned on Seinfeld in 1994) is sold at Breads Bakery in NYC. It is to die for, and since it's filled with Nutella rather than a homemade chocolate spread, it's easy to make at home...
