Vegan chocolate babka is so tasty! It was a huge hit in my house!
If you like chocolate you can't go wrong with this!
This one can be a little bit of a challenge but it is definitely worth it!
Ingredients
Dough;
3/4 Cup (185ml) Milk of your choice. I use oat milk.
2 tsp instant dried yeast
1/4 Cup (40g) Caster Sugar
2 Cup (340g) Plain Flour
1/2 tsp Salt (Optional)
1/2 (55g) Olive Oil
2 tbsp (30g) Butter I use Pure
Filling;
1/2 Cup & 2 tbsp (95g) Caster Sugar
2 1/2 tbsp (20g) Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Cinnamon
1/4 tsp Salt (Optional)
2 tbsp (30g) Olive Oil
2 tbsp (30g) Butter
1/2 Cup (55g) Chocolate Chips I use Moo Free
Sugar Syrup;
1 tbsp Caster Sugar
1 1/2 tbsp Water
Method
Dough;
* Warm your milk. Add the yeast and 1 tbsp Sugar. Leave this for 10 minutes until there is bubbles. This is how you know that the yeast is active and still working.
* In a large mixing bowl sift your flour and add your sugar. Add salt if you are choosing to.
* Mix in the wet ingredients.
* Knead for 8-10 minutes.
* Put the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean tea towel and leave to rise for 40-60 minutes, or until doubled in size. Ideally you want to leave it in a warm place, but room temperature will work, just may take a little longer.
Filling; You want to make this while the dough is rising so it can sit.
* In a small bowl stir everything together except the chocolate chips.
* Set aside.
Assembling the loaf;
* Grease a bread tin.
* Knead the dough for 5-8 minutes.
* Roll out 30 x 40cm rectangle
* Spread the filling on the dough. Leave 1.5 cm gap round all sides. When you roll the dough the chocolate will spread.
* Sprinkle the chocolate chips evenly.
* Tightly roll the dough.
* Cut 1.5cm off both ends.
* Cut the dough in half, length ways.
* Always keeping the cut edges facing up, twirl the two pieces together.
Pinch and twirl the ends to keep the dough in place.
* Place the dough in your bread tin.
* Cover with a tea towel and let rise for a further 60-90 minutes or until doubled in size.
* Preheat the oven 160C
* Bake for 40-45 minutes.
* Brush the dough with the sugar syrup and leave to cool 10 minutes before cutting.
Sugar syrup;
* Dissolve the sugar in the water, using a saucepan and a low heat.
Serve
Enjoy!
