Bread no. 4 : Chocolate Cinnamon Babka from Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads Every Day.

Adjustments : We were almost out of white flour so this was made with pretty much all wheat flour. I substituted half of the sugar with Splenda. And I melted the chocolate chips on the stove because I didn't want to get the food processor dirty and just spread it out like frosting on the rolled out dough. Worked pretty well.

Notes : I have made this a few times, but in the past have done the swirl shape. I think in the future, I'll stick with the swirl. Much prettier & seems to distribute the chocolate more evenly.

Review : Total favorite. But really, it's a dessert, not a bread.

    Yum! A fresh loaf of bread only lasts a day or two at the most around here. I don’t think I need to tempt myself with adding chocolate to it…or do I? 🙂

    This one was already on my list of breads to try. Now it’s probably jumped up to the top of the list!
