Chocolate Chip Challah image

I'm fond of baking and since Challah is not available where I live, I've created my own version to serve at Christmas and Easter. It is delicious and not as much work as you would think. There is a subtle chocolate flavor and when served warm the chocolate chips may be still melty. Leftovers are great for French toast or bread pudding.-Lorraine Caland, Shuniah, Ontario

This bread didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The dough was too sticky and the bread was a bit dense.

The chocolate chips were a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall the bread was very good.
