Chocolate or cinnamon babka — which is better? In this recipe, you don’t have to choose because you can make one of each! A subtly sweet cinnamon babka and a deeply rich dark chocolate babka. This dough is not identical to the brioche-like bread in a classic babka recipe. Spelt flour gives it a decidedly wholesome flavor. Brushing these Spelt Chocolate and Cinnamon Babkas by Emily Fraser with maple syrup instead of simple syrup saves a bit of time, adds extra flavor, and accomplishes the same beautiful shine.
