Great babka or kokosh recipe – best of all, no unhealthy margarine or shortening!
5 pounds flour
2 cups sugar
4 ounces yeast
1 and 1/2 cups oil
2 whole eggs plus 8 yolks
pinch salt
2 cups Kedem White Grape Juice or other light grape juice (or apple juice)
3 cups water
2 cups Gefen Cocoa
4 cups sugar
2 cups confectioners’ sugar
4 tablespoons Gefen Vanilla Sugar
2 packages instant chocolate pudding
oil, for smearing dough
1 egg, for glazing
Combine all dough ingredients in a large mixer bowl, mix well. Cover bowl and let rise for one hour.
In a separate bowl, combine cocoa, sugars, and pudding mix for filling; mix well.
Divide dough into eight equal parts. Working with one piece at a time, roll out dough into a rectangle. Smear with a thin layer of oil and sprinkle with filling. Roll up dough jellyroll style.
Twist two rolls together, pinching ends; place in large, greased loaf pan. Cover and let rise 45 minutes.
Brush with beaten egg. Bake for 40–45 minutes in oven preheated to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
