SUMMARY:Chocolate Babka with Michael Kalanty
DESCRIPTION:Chocolate babka is one of the great achievements of enriched bread baking: a tender\, buttery dough wrapped around layers of rich chocolate filling and twisted into a beautiful loaf that is as impressive to look at as it is to eat. A favorite for holidays and special occasions\, it’s also one of the great weekend treats to share with family and friends. \nWhether you’ve admired babka from afar or have tried making it at home with mixed results\, this class will guide you through the process step by step. \n\nDesigned and taught by Michael Kalanty\, former Director of Boulangerie for the Le Cordon Bleu and Art Institute Schools\, this class is a deep exploration of the techniques\, ingredients\, and processes that make chocolate babka one of the world’s most beloved enriched breads. \nWe’ll focus on the techniques that make babka both beautiful and delicious: \n\nThe Sponge Technique: making a quick starter that improves flavor\, texture\, and volume\nEmulsifying Butter: incorporating butter properly to create a rich\, soft\, and tender dough\nShaping Techniques: rolling\, filling\, twisting\, and shaping babka for an attractive finished loaf\nStreusel Topping: creating a crisp\, flavorful topping that complements the rich dough and chocolate filling\n\n\n\n\n\nBy the end of class\, you’ll understand the complete babka-making process and feel confident recreating this classic bakery favorite at home. \nEach student will take home their own class-made babka. \n\n\n\nInstructor Bio\nMichael Kalanty is a professional bread baking instructor.
