Equipment

  • Bread Machine

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 8 tbsp. melted butter
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ⅓ cup sugar (66g)
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 3½ cups all purpose flour (420g)
  • 1 tbsp. active dry yeast

For the Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Filling:

  • 10 tbsp. softened butter
  • 1 cup chopped hazelnuts
  • 1 cup sugar
  • ⅔ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tsp. vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Place all the ingredients in your bread machine, in the order recommended by your bread machine. Set your machine on the dough cycle.
  • When the cycle is done, empty the dough on to a floured board. Separate the dough into two equal portions. This recipe makes enough for two breads. Roll each ball of dough into a 16 by 12 rectangle.
  • Spread each rectangle of dough with the softened butter.
  • In a food processor, mince the hazelnuts until very fine. Add the rest of the filling ingredients and pulse until everything is combined. Sprinkle this filling over the dough.
  • Roll each rectangle up, until you have a 16 inch long rope. Pick up the two ends of the first rope and twist three times, to form a braid. Place on a parchment lined sheet pan. Repeat with the second rope. Cover the pan loosely with plastic wrap, and put it in a warm place to rise for one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and bake for about 30 minutes, or until the babka is 180 degrees inside. Cool on a wire rack.
