DESCRIPTION
Chocolate Bread

SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Yeast Bread/Rolls (not sourdough)

INSTRUCTIONS
This recipe was posted on the Bread Machine Digest message board. I do not know to whom I should give credit for this bread, but it is really wonderful.

1 pkg yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
3 c. bread flour
1/2 c. sugar
1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa
1 egg
1/4 c. butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 c. milk
1 tsp. salt
1/2 c. chocolate chips (Optional)

Add to your bread machine in the order suggested for your machine. Cook on normal bread cycle.

Note: The original recipe did not call for salt. I use unsalted butter, so I added the salt. My dough did not rise as much as I would have liked, but had a great oven spring that more than made up for the initial slow rise. Others in the Bread Machine Digest group said they did this recipe exactly as written (w/o salt) and the bread rose beautifully. Most others also added the chocolate chips, but I did not. This bread is great toasted for breakfast with a little smear of clotted cream or cream cheese.
