First attempt at babka (programming.dev)

I haven't baked anything since highschool, kinda overestimated my abilities lol. Definitely a learning experience!

At least it's edible :)

A few mistakes I noticed:

Didn't activate the yeast before mixing in

Messed up the chocolate by accidentally mixing in some water from the steam from the double boiler

Shaped the dough prior to chilling

Didn't roll out the dough to the correct length. Had to smush it to get it to fit in the loaf pan

Forgot to buy vanilla paste for the dough

Forgot to premake simple syrup, didn't have any to apply after baking :(

Hopefully my next attempt goes better :)

Salivate, unless I'm missing an inside joke.
