Step 1
Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups flour, 1 tbsp baking powder, and 1/2 tsp salt.
Step 2
Stir in 3/4 cup milk until a soft dough forms. Fold in 1/2 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup raisins.
Step 3
Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead gently 4-5 times. Shape into a 12-inch log, then cut lengthwise into 3 strips and braid them, pinching ends to seal.
Step 4
Place braid on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean, about 18-20 minutes.
Step 5
Let cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
