Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup granulated sugar
- 2.25 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1.25 cups warm milk (110°F / 43°C)
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 0.75 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, granulated sugar, instant yeast, and salt.
In a microwave-safe container, warm the milk to around 110°F (43°C). Stir in the melted butter.
Add the warm milk mixture and the egg to the dry ingredients. Stir with a wooden spoon or a dough hook attachment if using a stand mixer until the dough starts to come together.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8–10 minutes (or 5–6 minutes using a stand mixer on medium speed) until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Gently fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Punch down the risen dough to release air. Shape it into a loaf and place it in a greased 9x5-inch loaf pan.
Cover the loaf pan with a towel and let the dough rise again for 30–45 minutes, or until it puffs up and almost doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread for 30–35 minutes or until the top is firm and slightly cracked. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
Remove the loaf from the pan and allow it to cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Choco Bread!
