Chocolate Babka — Eastern European recipe
Chocolate Babka, photographed for the Kitchen Pantri cookbook.

Chocolate Babka

An enriched yeast dough rolled around a dark chocolate filling, cut down the middle and twisted so every slice shows the spiral. Most of the twelve hours is the dough sitting in the fridge doing nothing, and that cold rest is what makes the layers come out sharp instead of smeared.
