Chocolate Breads
Chocolate bread sounds more like a dessert than a bread, but these recipes can be used just like any other bread. Try it with a peanut butter sandwich, or use it in French toast. Bread pudding? Of course!
Some of the recipes mix chocolate (like cocoa powder) into the dough for a smooth textured bread. Others, use solid bits of chocolate (like chocolate chips) which give the breads a chunky, chocolatey texture.
