How To Make Chocolate Babka with Breads Bakery

[@alexneuhaus2029]

Forget the cooking, my man just taught me a life saver of a trick to measure the middle of things (the clap)

Pretty sure that clapping will just take you to the centre of your own body haha. It works only because he’s already standing at the middle of the Babka

Leshnick (or a slight variety of this word) actually means HAZELNUT in most southern Slavic languages, so it's such a delight to see "Mr. Hazelnut" making hazelnut spread babka

Breads is my fav babka ANYWHERE. Lighter than the rest, wonderfully steamy, depth in a darker chocolate than others in NYC, and just the right "pull" when you tug and bite into it. 😍

[@ranrefael]

Wow his accent is perfect for someone who grew up in Israel!! Thank you for the recipe, it looks amazing!

[@dani4655]

Babka for me it not just a childhood memory, it my favorite cake to eat every weekend. Israeli food is the best

[@andrejohnson6731]

He is so right. I was in my twenties when I had my first babka, so I didn’t grow up on it, but that first time, I had a blast from the past and flashes from my childhood! It was a chocolate babka. Sooooo good

[@5G5SF5]

He has a very fitting last name for this video. In some Slavic languages leshnick means hazelnut which is the primary ingredient of Nutella.

[@turtlehead2]

Babkas remind me of that episode of "Perfect Strangers" where Balki was making Bibbi Babkas. So having never tasted one, it brings me back to my childhood.

[@khadijahmarrie4670]

Finally ...i tried this recepy....and im sorry...its totally fail...the final product is not like in your video...and if may i let you know about my opinion.. this is my opinion...i believe now that all the recepies in the you tube channel are 90% fail..they hide the truth recepies...thanks

wow look amazing, you are right, reminding me from childhood too. usually we put butter and chocolate sprinkle on the bread, eat it just like that.many years ago in Indonesia we dont have bakery, a guy will sell fresh bread everyday with his four wheel cart going to neighbor hood I cant wait to try to make it.i didnt know we have to put simple syrup.Btw you have a nice smile. Thanks Edan for sharing it.

[@brycewalburn3926]

"We want a strong dough so we use strong flour, but most importantly we want our dough to be weak, so we use weak flour, but keep in mind you want that gluten formation to give you the strong dough we're after, and that's what gives you a weak dough."

Now that's a life hack in there!

[@mokster5]

Alright, I've never watched anyone else make babka, only made it myself from a paper recipe, and my dough has always been nice but I think my hydration has been just a hair low. His dough is more supple than mine, and doesn't shrink back as much. Very informative!

[@Lagolop]

I have made babkas with just A.P. flour. I think since he uses some pastry flour it gives the dough less gluten and more "give".

[@markrichardson6760]

Love your passion for Babka and wonderful teaching style. Enjoyable to follow. Thanks!! I’ve heard wonderful things about the Breads Bakery Chocolate Nutella Babka recipe so I decided to try the recipe posted on the Breads Bakery web site but it came out more like dense bread instead of Babka… and now I see why. The posted Breads Bakery recipe is not at all what you show in your video. Different ingredients (milk vs water) among many other important differences. The recipe says to follow the Breads Bakery challah recipe (which I did) up to the braiding and filling part. For anyone reading this - don’t bother. It’s not very good. The dough is incredibly dense. I was about to trash the Breads Bakery Nutella Babka recipe and move on to one that I typically follow (and love) for cinnamon Bab - just sub the filling with Nutella - but I will try your version first in case I am missing out on a truly magical Babka moment. :-) Thanks!
