Chocolate babka recipe?

[jujubes83]

I want to try my hand at making chocolate babka, but don't know which recipe to use. Right now I am debating between Martha Stewart's recipe and Peggy Cullen's.

This recipe for Gertel's Chocolate Babka appears in "America's Great Delis: Recipes and Traditions Coast to Coast" by Sheryll Bellman

The quantities make about 10 loaves and I'm curious about the amount of yeast being used. I kind of adapted it by scaling it back to make only 2 loaves and found that I needed to add more flour but I thought that it was pretty good for a start.... better than lots of other recipes I've tried and I will definitely try making this again. Maybe make a half recipe instead of the quarter recipe I tried......

I've made Martha's a couple of times - its divine.
