Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 package (1/4 oz) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup warm water (110o to 115o)
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
  • glaze:
  • 3/4 tsp sugar

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve sugar and yeast in warm water; let stand for 5 minutes. Add the oil, honey, eggs, egg yolks, salt and vanilla; mix well.
  2. Add 3 cups flour. Beat on medium speed for 3 minutes or until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
  3. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
  4. Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead in chocolate chips. Divide dough in half; divide each half into three portions. Shape each piece into an 12-in. rope.
  5. Place three ropes on a greased baking sheet and braid; pinch ends to seal and tuck under. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 1 hour.
  6. Combine cream and sugar. Brush some of the mixture over braids. Bake at 350° for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks and brush with remaining cream mixture. Cool. Yield: 2 loaves (12 slices each).
