Ingredients
- 1/2 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons active dry yeast
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, for topping
Instructions
In a large bowl, add the warm water, yeast and sugar. Stir until the yeast and sugar are dissolved. Let the mixture stand until it is foamy, about 10 minutes. Add the salt, oil, and eggs to the mixture and mix well. Gradually add the flour and mix until the dough is smooth and elastic. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes and then place in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
When the dough has doubled in size, turn it out onto a floured surface and roll out into a rectangle about 12x16 inches. Sprinkle the chocolate chips, pecans, brown sugar and cinnamon over the dough. Roll up the dough tightly and place in a greased 9x5 inch loaf pan. Cover and let the dough rise for another hour.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Bake the babka for about 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack and let cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar and serve.
