Ingredients

• 300 g whole wheat flour
• 60 g unflavored protein powder
• 7 g active dry yeast
• 180 ml lukewarm milk
• 2 large eggs
• 50 g unsalted butter
• 40 g honey
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 100 g dark chocolate chips
• 1 egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tbsp water)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in lukewarm milk and let it sit for about 10 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, protein powder, and salt.

Step 3

Add the frothy yeast mixture, eggs, butter, and honey to the dry ingredients and mix until a rough dough forms.

Step 4

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours or until it doubles in size.

Step 6

After the first rise, punch down the dough and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 30x40 cm.

Step 7

Sprinkle the rolled dough with ground cinnamon and chocolate chips.

Step 8

Roll the dough tightly into a log starting from the long side, then cut it lengthwise into two halves.

Step 9

Twist the two halves together to form a braided shape, ensuring the cut sides are on the outside to expose the chocolate layers.

Step 10

Place the braided dough into a greased loaf pan, cover it, and allow it to rise for another hour.

Step 11

Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F).

Step 12

Before baking, brush the top of the babka with egg wash.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the babka sounds hollow when tapped.

Step 14

Remove the babka from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 15

Slice and enjoy your high-protein babka toast!
