Our friend Emily sent us this awesome recipe for Chocolate Chunk Challah. We can’t wait to try it!

2 cups warm water
½ cup sugar
1 packet yeast
½ cup oil
½ tsp salt
3 eggs
Approx. 6 cups of flour

Mix wet ingredients together. Add about 6 cups of flour slowly. You might not need all of it. Knead and set aside to rise, about 2 or 3 hours.

Get any brownie bites or leftover chocolate cake (take off frosting). Entenmann’s chocolate Danish works great. Chop cake until small/fine. Add chopped chocolate chips.
After bread dough has risen, knead/roll until flat and in a pizza shape. Spread butter generously over bread and then cover with chopped toppings. Start at one end and roll up. Then cut into 3 pieces. Roll these into strips and braid. Bake at 350/until golden. Takes about 45 minutes…

This recipe is great for holiday Shabbats…
