So... coming back from vacation, I didn't really have a lot of food this week, so I decided to make bread. Chocolate Bread. I had this recipe I found on a blog and had been wanting to try it.
In case you are wondering... it's delish! :)

Chocolate Bread Recipe
1 C. milk, scalded
2 T. butter
1/2 C. sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 lightly beaten eggs
1 pkg. yeast
1/4 C. warm water
1 T. sugar
2/3 C. cocoa
3 1/2 C. flour
1 tsp. salt
1 1/2 to 2 C. semi-sweet chocolate chips
(I used 2 C. but it does make it a little hard to cut.)
Take the scalded milk while hot and add the butter.
Let the butter melt. Add the 1/2 C. sugar and vanilla
and when it has cooled to lukewarm add the 2 eggs. Mix.
Dissolve the yeast in 1/4 C. warm water with the 1 T. sugar.
Sift the cocoa, flour and salt.
In the mixer with the dough hook, mix the milk mixture
and the flour mixture. Let knead for 5-7 minutes.
Add the chocolate chips.
Cover the dough and let rise until double.
Punch down and shape into desired loaves.
You can form it into 1 standard loaf or two round loaves
or four mini loaves.
Brush with melted butter and sprinkle on
sanding sugar (sugar crystals or decorator sugar).
Cover and let rise until double - or until it measures
about 1 inch above the loaf pan.
Preheat oven to 350 (325 if using a dark pan).
Bake standard loaf 45 to 50 minutes, two round
loaves, 35-40 minutes and mini loaves about 30 minutes.
Cool 10 minutes in pan, then run knife around edge
to loosen. Remove to cooling rack.

chocolate yum...
Looks great, I love chocolate. I've been looking through a vegan cookbook lately, so it is weird to see butter and milk and regular flour and stuff in an ingredients list.
