Steps:
- Combine the yeast and warm milk and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- In large mixing bowl, add the egg, egg yolks, vanilla, sugar, and honey and whisk to combine.
- Add in the milk and yeast mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add in the flour and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add in the butter and mix until fully incorporated.
- Cover with a towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Bring out the dough onto floured work surface and knead until smooth.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts and place in bowls and cover each with plastic wrap. Let the dough sit at room temperature for at least two hours, or when it has doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
- For the chocolate sauce, combine bittersweet chocolate, butter, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, espresso powder, and turbinado sugar in a medium sized mixing bowl and microwave for 1-2 minutes. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, transfer to a floured work surface and roll both pieces of dough into a rectangle roughly 10x15-inches.
- Cover the dough with half of the chocolate sauce leaving an ½ inch - 1 inch of room on all sides.
- Gently roll the dough up and repeat with second piece of dough and remaining chocolate sauce.
- Using a bench scraper or a knife, carefully cut each log vertically in half making sure the seam is side down.
- Lay one piece of dough horizontally and lay another piece over it vertically so you have a rough 'plus sign'.
- Lay another piece horizontally over the vertical piece and above the other horizontal piece.
- Lay the final piece vertically on the right of the other vertical piece having it go over the top horizontal piece but weaving it under the lower horizontal piece.
- Starting with the bottom vertical piece on the right side, bring it to the left layering it over the other vertical lower piece.
- Follow this method around the dough clockwise.
- Once returned to the bottom lower vertical pieces. Take the original piece you crossed over (the lower left vertical piece) and cross that over to the right layering it over the last piece you used. Continue this counterclockwise until back at the bottom or you are unable to layer the dough anymore.
- Tuck in the excess pieces of dough under the bread.
- Transfer the bread into a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and brush with egg wash.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through.
- Enjoy!

SHOW-STOPPING CHOCOLATE BABKA WREATH BY CHEF SHIMI RECIPE BY TASTY
Babka is a Jewish yeasted cake that originated in eastern Europe. The dough is twisted with a chocolate, cinnamon, nut, or fruit filling into a beautiful braid. It has become one of the most popular desserts in the US and the rest of the world over the last two decades, with many filling and topping variations. This version from Chef Shimi Aaron features a chocolate hazelnut filling and a colorful garnish of orange peel, dried rose petals, and chopped pistachios.

Steps:
- Make the dough: Add the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment and mix on low speed. With the mixer running, add the water, vanilla, egg, and vegetable oil. Increase the mixer speed to medium and continue mixing until the dough is smooth and pulls away cleanly from the sides of the bowl, 7-10 minutes. If the dough is too dry, add more water, about 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary. If it is too wet, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead by hand until the dough is completely smooth, elastic, and shiny, 2-3 minutes. Shape into a ball. Grease a large bowl with vegetable oil spray, then transfer the dough to the bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a warm place for 45-60 minutes, until doubled in size.
- Make the filling: Preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Spread the hazelnuts in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Roast for about 8 minutes, until golden brown and fragrant. Let cool for 5 minutes then transfer the hazelnuts to a food processor and process until finely chopped, but still with some texture.
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the dark chocolate and cook, whisking frequently, until melted and evenly combined. Whisk in the cocoa powder and powdered sugar until completely smooth. The ganache should be spreadable.
- Make the syrup: Use a paring knife to remove the peel from the orange, then thinly slice the peel.
- Bring the water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved, about 3 minutes. Add the cinnamon and star anise and continue cooking for about 1 minute, then add the orange peel and stir to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook for 20-25 minutes, until the syrup thickens and the orange peel is tender. Remove the pot from the heat and cover to keep warm.
- Assemble the babka: Punch down the dough, then transfer to a clean surface and slice in half. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one portion of dough into a 21 x 15-inch (53 x 30-cm) rectangle.
- Using a silicone spatula, spread half of the chocolate ganache evenly over the dough, all the way to the edges. Sprinkle half of the ground hazelnuts on top. Starting from a long end, roll the dough up into a tight log. Repeat with the remaining dough, then let the logs rest for 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 365°F (185°C). Line 2 9-inch round cake pans with parchment paper.
- Using a serrated knife, slice a log in half lengthwise. Cross one side of the log over the other in an X shape with the cut sides facing up. Starting from the center, braid the two halves together to the bottom and top. You can leave as is, or bring the ends together to form a wreath. Transfer to a prepared pan. Repeat with the remaining babka.
- Make the egg wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water until smooth.
- Brush the egg wash lightly over the babka wreaths.
- Bake the babkas for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown.
- Meanwhile, heat the syrup to low heat until hot.
- Remove the babkas from the oven and slowly ladle the hot syrup on top, letting it soak into the babkas. Garnish with dried rose petals and pistachios, if desired.
- Transfer the babkas to a wire rack and let cool for about 30 minutes.
- To serve, gently slice the babkas with a serrated bread knife.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients in a large bowl, turn out onto a floured board and knead well for 5 minutes. Allow to rise in a large bowl in a dark place, covered with plastic wrap or a towel for 1 ½ hours.
- Be sure to check that the dough is the right consistency (not too sticky but not too dry; should be able to hold a shape) adding flour or water, one tablespoon at a time as necessary.
- When the dough cycle is complete, remove dough from the bread machine and divide into 2 equal portions. On a floured surface, roll one of the portions into a rope, and using a rolling pin, roll it into a rectangle approximately 12 inches long and 10 inches wide.
- Spread a thin layer of date paste (approximately 3-4 tablespoons) on the rectangle, being sure to leave around ½ an inch border all around the edge. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of cinnamon over the paste. Starting with the long edge of the dough, gently but tightly roll the dough up to the end.
- Using a sharp knife, cut the strand in half the long way (freezing the dough for 10 minutes prior to this will make slicing easier).
- Lay the halves next to each other, cut side up, and lift one side over the next, twisting the two together. When completed, start on one side of the twist and slowly roll it until it reaches the end, creating a spiral. When you reach the end, tuck the tip under the spiral to complete the circle. Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
- Repeat with the other half of the dough.
- Cover each babka with a towel and let rise for 20-30 minutes in a draft-free place.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat egg yolk with water and brush over the babka. Bake for approximately 40-45 minutes or until set.
- Serve warm.
