Chocolate Babka (Without Stand Mixer)|ASMR

[@LindaArredondophoto]

This was my first time making babka and it turned out wonderfully with your guidance. I have pastry experience, but I feel anyone could follow your video and get excellent results! Thank you!!

[@peacefulbaking]

Thank you for your kind comment :)

[@maureenkakai8638]

i made this using your recipe, so easy and straight forward! first time baking bread! turned out soooooooooooooooo good!

[@dzarna]

I made babka for the first time today while following this video. Worked like a charm and family loved it.

[@peacefulbaking]

Thank you so much! I am so glad to hear that :)

[@lillyin219]

I feel so relaxed after watching your video! Amazing work! Thank you💚💚

[@peacefulbaking]

Thank you. Glad you felt relaxed!

[@margotshinn6886]

Thank you!! My trusty stand mixer gave up on me and this video is going to change how I bake Babka!

[@tiahuggins]

I made chocolate babka this morning and it was delicious! Thank you for the video showing how. I made it about a year ago and the dough was so soft that I was upset that it wasn't right, but you showed me.

[@peacefulbaking]

Thank you so much. This bread is so tasty that I don't make it very often otherwise I will eat too much :P

[@sharifapatel6393]

Hi there. I’m rolling proofing and baking this today. Please can you tell me the size of your pan including the depth

[@peacefulbaking]

Hi its a 24cm standard bread pan. I'm not sure about the depth but a standard bread pan around that size will work well !

[@sharifapatel6393]

@@peacefulbaking Ok, thank, my bread pan worked fine. I have a problem with my oven currently in that it heats up too much, so I baked the babka on 150°C but the top still got a bit burnt. Is there any way to stop that from happening? If I cover the top with foil halfway through baking, would that help in any way?

[@peacefulbaking]

@@sharifapatel6393 Covering with foil is the best way. It used to happen in my previous oven as well and that will definitely work. Thank you

@@peacefulbaking Thanks for replying

[@alyzak.8997]

Seems amazing. I want to try but I can't find bread flour in my region. Can I use all purpose flour instead?

[@peacefulbaking]

Yeah Definitely, That will do the job as well :)

[@alyzak.8997]

@@peacefulbaking Thank you for the response! I will definitely try it and let you know how it went.

[@miraloungani]

Wanted to know top bottom rods on and fan should be on?

[@peacefulbaking]

I usually just use the bottom rod with the fan on. The top can sometimes burn the chocolate. Thanks

[@olawilkinson2742]

what is the size of the loaf pan?

[@peacefulbaking]

24cm. Thanks

Спасибо. Я обязательно буду работать над новыми рецептами и видео в ближайшее время!

[@NotesfromtheFuturesPast]

how do you ensure the salt and the yeast don't mix when you mix them?

[@peacefulbaking]

When using instant yeast it doesnt matter if they both touch since they get mixed in the dough without the yeast really dying due to the salt, When using fresh yeast one needs to be careful though but instant yeast it really doesnt matter much, Thanks!

[@shafarameez4405]

hi, what’s the size of the loaf pan you baked it in?

[@peacefulbaking]

HI There, It is a 24cm loaf tin. Thanks!

[@shafarameez4405]

@@peacefulbaking thank you! Love the video, hopefully will give it a go 😊😊

[@alanprieto4887]

How big did you spread the dough before you applied the chocolate??

[@peacefulbaking]

Thats a nice question. I will add that to the details 50cm in LengthX40 Cm in Breadth. If you do a little less or a little more it will still turn out amazing!

[@alanprieto4887]

Thank you!!! I am chilling my dough right now and will leave it overnight 😁. Love your video! Looking forward to your future content !!!

[@peacefulbaking]

@@alanprieto4887 Thanks! So cool. Thanks for making my recipe. I'll keep the content coming!

[@tokakuazumamorako62]

Hi, really like this and do I need to use baking sheet or grease my baking pan?

[@peacefulbaking]

Thank you. You can grease the baking pan with some butter. Make sure to unmould it when it still slightly warm otherwise the bread tends to stick to the pan.

[@tokakuazumamorako62]

@@peacefulbaking ok! Thank you very much, I'll try it tomorrow ☺️☺️

[@tokakuazumamorako62]

@@peacefulbaking This recipe is amazing! The bread itself is really soft. I add some sugar in the chocolate filling, it comes out sweet and delicious. Thank you very much 🥰

[@peacefulbaking]

@@tokakuazumamorako62 Thank you. I'm so glad you liked it :)

[@qmaz246]

You have "Plain Flour" in the description but have "Bread Flour" in the video. I know theres a difference, but is there anything to consider if choosing plain over bread? Or can you seemlessly substitute?

[@peacefulbaking]

You can definitely substitute either in this recipe as it is really forgiving but I would recommend using bread flour for the recipe Thanks for pointing it out to me I changed it on the description Best of Luck with your Bread Thanks

[@Kokeshiflower]

I love this peaceful recipe, I will try without the egg as I am vegan, I wondered why you leave incorporating the butter into the dough until last?

[@peacefulbaking]

Thank you. Usually when we add a fat to the dough its important to add it when we have developed the dough slightly otherwise the gluten in the dough will start to tear and the fat will split from the dough. Doing it in this way helps to avoid that from happening :)

[@Kokeshiflower]

@@peacefulbaking thank you so much, that's very helpful!

[@furdeansergiu1007]

Hi, thank you very much for sharing this recipe with us ! one question though: my dough is still raising in the fridge over night. Do you know why is this happening and how could I prevent it ?

[@peacefulbaking]

Dont worry thats completely normal. It happens to my dough as well. It happens because yeast keeps growing till the dough gets to around 3-4 Degrees Celcius. In fact that is important to get a really light loaf the next day :)

[@furdeansergiu1007]

@@peacefulbaking thank you very much ! I just came back to your video, this is how I figures you replied; did not get a notification. Is your dough still very aerated in the morning as well ? Mine is very very light to touch but unfortunately I need to ruin it by spreading it in order to get the filling in. Thank you very much !

[@MimaTuran]

Is it 30 or 40 grams of butter in the filling? The deskription says 30, but in the video 40 ☺️

[@peacefulbaking]

Please use 40grams. I will make the changes on the description. Thank you!

[@cheyennemason1061]

Is the milk supposed to be warmed?

[@cheyennemason1061]

I am also wondering what kind of yeast?

[@peacefulbaking]

@@cheyennemason1061 Hi Cheyenne, The temp of the milk completely depends on your room temperature. I tend to use slightly cold milk in hot summers and slightly tepid milk in winters. The Ideal dough Temp is about 25-27C For Yeast I prefer Instant Yeast as you can add that to the flour directly and you dont need to bloom it in milk before adding in the dough Thank you

[@walexander8378]

Don't forget to rip it apart like a bear Anyway, I think I'll try this. I have no mixer and want to try a babka
