Let's Get Started

- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
- Roll out the dough into a rectangle, spread the chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and cinnamon evenly over the dough.
- Roll up the dough tightly, cut it in half lengthwise, and twist the two halves together.
- Place the twisted dough in a greased loaf pan, cover, and let it rise for another hour.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and bake the babka for 45 minutes, or until it's golden brown.
- Let the babka cool before slicing and serving.
