I don’t know if I would call this recipe foolproof, but I would say that it is very consistent and extremely straightforward (and relatively easy) to make. This is a pretty classic chocolate babka with a buttery brioche dough twist. It’s a rich bread with chocolate that swirls all through each slice. A huge crowd pleaser, and great for just about anything. If you’re a fan of chocolate or bread, then this will be your best friend.
