BABKA and BOSTON

What do two sisters do when it rains on Sunday... bake of course!  Three hours and four sticks of butter later we had the most delicious dessert known to man: chocolate babka. Always fun visiting my sister, just sad when it comes time to leave.  At least I had loaf in tow to ease the pain of driving back south.

Just a little bit of chocolate

Did I mention there was a little bit of chocolate in this bread?

Roll it up!

A few twists later

Ready for the oven

Well worth the effort!

Food coma.
