“Inspired by a braided brioche loaf called babka, this labour-of-love bake conceals a filling of silky chocolate custard. It takes a little time to make, but you’ll be rewarded with a wonderful treat for the long bank holiday weekend.
I love the enriched dough used in the loaf as it uses honey instead of sugar, and the dough is so versatile and beautiful to work with. You can make cinnamon buns with it, a challah – or put it in a loaf tin to bake for sandwiches… Wonderful!”
