Description

Sourdough and chocolate may seem like an unlikely pair, but in this swirled sourdough babka, they each bring out the best in each other. Made with a generous amount of ripe sourdough starter, this photo-worthy loaf is entirely naturally leavened and has the signature tang you expect from great sourdough. The rich, cinnamon-scented chocolate filling that's swirled throughout the babka makes every slice perfectly rich and utterly irresistible.
