CHALLAH BREAD PUDDING WITH CHOCOLATE AND RAISINS
This bread pudding is heavenly and sinful at the same time. I use dense, rich challah bread that sets into a creamy soft custard. But it's the chocolate and raisins layered in between the slices of bread that really make the dish.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Combine warmed milk and melted butter with the sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl. Whisk until incorporated and smooth.
- Line a large baking dish with two-thirds of the challah slices. Sprinkle with half the chocolate chips and half the raisins. Top with remaining challah slices, layering them one on top of the other, and then remaining chocolate chips and raisins, making sure the chips and raisins get inside the layers created by the challah slices.
- Pour milk mixture slowly over the top of everything and let stand until the bread has absorbed almost all of the liquid, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Wrap the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 50 minutes. Remove the aluminum foil and cook 10 to 15 minutes longer until set in the middle and lightly browned on top.
- Remove from oven and let cool before serving. Serve with the Chocolate Ganache drizzled over top.
- Chocolate Ganache:
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream to just below a simmer.
- Place the chocolate chips in a medium heat-proof bowl and pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap and let sit for 5 minutes.
- Remove plastic wrap and whisk vigorously until ganache becomes a uniform smooth chocolate sauce. Serve while warm.
- Cook's Note: To make in advance, let cool, cover tightly and keep refrigerated until ready to use. Then microwave on low heat for 20 to 30 second intervals or heat over a double boiler.
CHOCOLATE CHALLAH
This was invented on a whim. I spent an afternoon recently making my Recipe #256074 with some friends. As we were admiring the rich colors of the braided loaves while they were rising, we wondered about other natural colors we could use. One brilliant woman (Yay Shani!) suggested chocolate. Now who could say no to that? I scratched out what I thought would be appropriate measurements to make it a bit sweeter to balance the cocoa, and voila! Chocolate challah. Now, is it bread or dessert? Hmmmm..... (One more note -- this bread took substantially longer to rise than most others I've made using instant yeast. I don't know if the cocoa (perhaps the alkalinization?) somehow slows the yeast. I will keep checking into this, and will update as I find out. Meanwhile, please note the extended time estimates for rising.) This makes the most awesome PB&J sandwiches. Yummm.

Steps:
- Mix the warm water, 1/3 cup canola oil, honey, 2 eggs and salt in a large mixing bowl until thoroughly combined.
- Add the bread flour and cocoa powder and mix until dough is a shaggy mess.
- Add the instant yeast and mix well.
- Now add the all-purpose flour one cup at a time, until too thick to stir.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface, and continue to add flour while kneading for about 10-15 minutes.
- When you are done kneading the dough will bounce back at you when you press on it. The surface will no longer be sticky or come off on your fingers, but will be tacky to the touch, like a post-it note.
- Pour the 2 Tbsp canola into a mixing bowl, and coat the bottom and sides with oil.
- Put the dough in the oiled bowl, and flip the dough around to uniformly coat with oil.
- Cover the bowl and set in a warm spot to rise until doubled. (For me this was about 2 hours.).
- Punch down dough and separate into loaves. Loaves can be braided like traditional challah, or baked in a bread loaf pan, or formed into any shape you like.
- Put formed loaves aside to rise a second time, covered, until doubled in size. (This took about 2 1/2 hours for me.).
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Just prior to baking, mix one remaining egg with a bit of water (about a teaspoon or so) and a small pinch of salt. Use this mixture to glaze the loaves.
- Bake loaves for 30 minutes, rotating once midway to keep browning even.
- Cool on racks.
- Freezes well.

CHOCOLATE BABKA BREAD PUDDING
Babka is part of the rich, sweet Eastern European baking tradition that Jewish cooks brought to the United States in the early 20th century. It is made with layers of rich yeast dough, covered with chocolate or cinnamon sugar, then twisted and folded into a loaf. And as if babka itself were not irresistible enough, in this recipe it is combined with challah and a milk-egg-cream mixture and baked into a golden, rich dessert. Once the Ashkenazi Jews arrived in the United States, luxuries like strudel, rugelach and babka became more accessible: a chocolate or cinnamon babka was a Sunday-morning treat in many households. But making babka at home became too time-consuming, and now it is easy to order online. Breads Bakery in the Flatiron district of Manhattan makes (and ships) an extraordinary dark-chocolate version.

DEVILISHLY SINFUL CHOCOLATE BREAD PUDDING
Challah bread can be found in most bakeries and many supermarkets. It is important to use Dutch-processed cocoa in this recipe. Natural cocoa powder will make the bread pudding too bitter.

Steps:
- Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 300°F Toast bread on rimmed baking sheet, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 30 minutes. Transfer to large bowl.
- Increase oven temperature to 325°F Grease 13- by 9-inch baking pan. Heat 1½ cups cream, milk, cocoa, espresso, and ½ cup sugar in saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until steaming and sugar dissolves. Pour warm cream mixture over toasted bread and let stand, tossing occasionally, until liquid has been absorbed, about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, bring additional 1 cup cream to simmer in saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and stir in chocolate until smooth. Transfer 1 cup chocolate mixture to medium bowl and let cool 5 minutes (cover pan and reserve remaining chocolate mixture for serving). Add egg yolks, remaining cream, and remaining sugar to bowl with chocolate mixture and whisk to combine.
- Transfer soaked bread mixture to prepared pan and pour chocolate custard mixture evenly over bread. Bake until pudding is just set and surface is slightly crisp, about 45 minutes. Let cool 30 minutes. Warm reserved chocolate mixture over low heat, then pour over bread pudding. Serve. (Leftover bread pudding should be refrigerated; reheat individual portions in microwave.).
- Make Ahead: In step 4, once soaked bread mixture has been transferred to prepared pan, the pan can be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated overnight. When ready to bake, remove plastic and proceed with recipe as directed, increasing baking time to 55 to 60 minutes. Let reserved chocolate serving sauce cool, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Heat sauce in microwave when needed.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the bread pudding will be. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%).
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread pudding tough.
- Let the bread pudding rest before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set.
- Serve the bread pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
