Babka from Bake from Scratch: Artisan Recipes for Home Bakers (page 225) by Brian Hart Hoffman

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    I made a double batch (which nearly did in my industrial-strength stand mixer) and made one each of cinnamon and chocolate. The dough was both overly yeasty and dry, despite my adding a fair bit of additional liquid to the dough during mixing because it seemed dry (although they may also have been overbaked--I outsourced the removing of the pans from the oven). The cinnamon filling was quite good--like a cinnamon roll or sticky bun--and I would use it again with a different dough. But I'm getting ready to throw in the towel on Bake from Scratch as most of the recipes I've tried haven't turned out well...

    I made the chocolate version and added a few chopped pecans & pistachios to the top. The recipe is easy to follow and a YouTube video gave me the confidence I needed for the braiding. The orange zest in the brioche dough really complemented the chocolate. I'm definitely going to make this again.(Photo)
