Sourdough Chocolate Babka
Tried the Sourdough Babka recipe from The Perfect Loaf over the weekend:

I loved it! Chose the chocolate filling, which was the perfect amount of sweetness. Will plan on making another one with the cinnamon filling next. Highly recommend!

Just posted my first Babka and then I saw yours. Aren’t they tasty?
I much prefer your slice to mine. I think I need to dial back the filling.
Have you tried freezing the bread after sliced? Since the bread is so rich, it will be eaten a little at a time. But that will definitely require massive self control :-)
Great bread, CGB!

Thanks Danny! The chocolate filling was gooey so I had a hard time rolling, but it was worth it.
I haven't tried freezing the bread -- it was gone within 2 days! But that's a great idea for storage. Do you refresh in toaster oven / microwave?
Happy Baking!
CBG, I am thinking that the filling would drip out if the slice was put in a toaster. The bread is microwaved until it is just warmed. I use the "Defrost" option a lot when heating bread. It doesn't "leatherize" it. Throw a clump of ice cream on it and you are transported to heaven...
A minute or two under the grill in the oven?
An amazing looking babka!
