Warm the milk to about 110°F and sprinkle the yeast over it. Add a pinch of sugar and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, vanilla extract, and eggs. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Knead in the softened butter a little at a time until the dough is smooth and elastic. This should take about 8-10 minutes.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 to 1.5 hours.
Meanwhile, prepare the filling by melting the chocolate chips and stirring in the cocoa powder, brown sugar, and melted butter until smooth.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface into a rectangle about 12×20 inches.
Spread the chocolate filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll the dough tightly from the long side into a log. Cut the log in half lengthwise to expose the layers.
Twist the two halves together, keeping the cut sides facing up, and place the twisted loaf into a greased loaf pan.
