Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Warm milk
- 30 g Unsalted butter
- 1 large Egg
- 375 g All-purpose flour
- 50 g Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 25 g Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1.5 tsp Instant yeast
- 50 g Chopped hazelnuts
- 50 g Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Begin by ensuring all your ingredients are at room temperature unless stated otherwise. Warm the milk to about 37°C (just warm to the touch, not hot).
Add the ingredients to your bread machine in the order recommended by your machine's manufacturer. Typically, this starts with the wet ingredients. Pour the warm milk into the bread pan, followed by the melted butter and the egg.
Next, add the dry ingredients. Begin by adding the all-purpose flour, ensuring it covers the liquids to prevent the yeast from activating prematurely.
Add the sugar, salt, and cocoa powder on top of the flour. Make a small well in the center of the flour and pour in the instant yeast, ensuring it does not come into contact with the liquids.
Set your bread machine to the 'Sweet' or 'Basic' dough setting, selecting the appropriate crust color and loaf size according to your preferences (medium crust and 500g loaf is recommended).
When the machine beeps to signal it’s time to add mix-ins (usually during the kneading phase), add the chopped hazelnuts and mini chocolate chips.
Once the cycle completes and the bread is baked, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine and allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Transfer the bread to a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing to ensure the best texture and flavor.
Serve as a standalone treat, toasted with a pat of butter, or topped with more hazelnut spread. Enjoy!
