Steps:
- Add yeast to lukewarm milk, stir, and let sit for a few minutes. Meanwhile, stir together the flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon to a stand mixer. Make a well with your finger, add milk/yeast, vanilla extract, eggs, and egg yolk, briefly mixing the eggs.
- Turn on stand mixer with bread hook extension and slowly add room temp butter, piece-by-piece, until it has all become incorporated. Let the mixer knead for a few more minutes.
- On a floured surface, knead by hand a few times and fold into roughly a brick shape. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise for 1-2 hours at room temp and then 1-2 hours in the fridge.
- When dough is almost finished rising, make the chocolate filling by melting the butter in a glass bowl set over a pot of water on simmer. Add chocolate, piece-by-piece, and stirring constantly, until melting. Stir in powdered sugar and cocoa powder.
- Divide dough into two pieces. On the same floured surface, roll out dough using a rolling pin into a thin rectangle. Scoop half of the chocolate filling onto this and gently spread it over the dough, leaving about a ½ inch on all sides.
- On the long-side, gently roll dough into a swirl. Place on a baking sheet in the freezer for 6-8minutes (you can make the other loaf meanwhile).
- Remove dough swirl from the freezer and cut it in half, longitudinally. With the cut ends facing up, braid the two half swirls together. Line a loaf pan with parchment paper and coat with some oil. Place braid into this pan (if the braid is too long, just fold it inwards on both sides). Repeat for the other loaf.
- Let rest, covered with a dish towel, for 2-3 hours. After it has risen, preheat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 30-35 minutes. Meanwhile, bring the water with sugar to a boil and then take off the heat. When the bread is ready, spoon over the simple syrup you made onto the top of the bread. Let rest on a cooling rack for a bit but feel free to slice and eat it while still warm.

Steps:
- Combine the yeast and warm milk and let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- In large mixing bowl, add the egg, egg yolks, vanilla, sugar, and honey and whisk to combine.
- Add in the milk and yeast mixture and whisk until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add in the flour and mix until fully incorporated.
- Gradually add in the butter and mix until fully incorporated.
- Cover with a towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
- Bring out the dough onto floured work surface and knead until smooth.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts and place in bowls and cover each with plastic wrap. Let the dough sit at room temperature for at least two hours, or when it has doubled in size.
- Preheat oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
- For the chocolate sauce, combine bittersweet chocolate, butter, sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, espresso powder, and turbinado sugar in a medium sized mixing bowl and microwave for 1-2 minutes. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Once the dough has doubled in size, transfer to a floured work surface and roll both pieces of dough into a rectangle roughly 10x15-inches.
- Cover the dough with half of the chocolate sauce leaving an ½ inch - 1 inch of room on all sides.
- Gently roll the dough up and repeat with second piece of dough and remaining chocolate sauce.
- Using a bench scraper or a knife, carefully cut each log vertically in half making sure the seam is side down.
- Lay one piece of dough horizontally and lay another piece over it vertically so you have a rough 'plus sign'.
- Lay another piece horizontally over the vertical piece and above the other horizontal piece.
- Lay the final piece vertically on the right of the other vertical piece having it go over the top horizontal piece but weaving it under the lower horizontal piece.
- Starting with the bottom vertical piece on the right side, bring it to the left layering it over the other vertical lower piece.
- Follow this method around the dough clockwise.
- Once returned to the bottom lower vertical pieces. Take the original piece you crossed over (the lower left vertical piece) and cross that over to the right layering it over the last piece you used. Continue this counterclockwise until back at the bottom or you are unable to layer the dough anymore.
- Tuck in the excess pieces of dough under the bread.
- Transfer the bread into a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and brush with egg wash.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes, until lightly browned and cooked through.
- Enjoy!
