Cooking duration: 200 minutes

 

Ingredients:

1/2 to 2/3 cup bittersweet chocolate chips

2 cups bread flour (280 grams) -- definitely weigh it.

6 tablespoons sugar (75 grams) -- I used 3 T. brown and 3 T. granulated

1 teaspoon espresso powder or coffee extract, optional

3 ounces (85 grams) dark chocolate, coarsely chopped

1 large egg

3/4 cup warm milk (120 degrees)

3/4 teaspoon salt (reduce to ½ if using salted butter)

4 tablespoons (55 g) butter, unsalted

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, I used natural

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 envelope (2.25 oz) of Platinum or Rapid Rise yeast

Equipment:

stand mixer

bowl

loaf pan

oven

kitchen thermometer

frying pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Measure the temperature of the milk to make sure it's between 120 and 130 degrees.In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the platinum yeast, sugar, flour, and cocoa powder. Pour the warm milk into the dry ingredients and stir well. Batter will still be very dry at this point. Set aside for about 15 minutes while you melt the butter and chocolate.In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and chocolate together using 50% power and stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Let cool just slightly.Stir the melted chocolate mixture into the flour mixture, then add the coffee flavor (if using), vanilla, egg and salt. Mix very well using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer and stopping often to scrape the side of the bowl. Dough will be very soft and similar to brownie batter.Switch to the dough hook and let the machine knead the mixture for five minutes, stopping to scrape sides occasionally. Cover the bowl and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.After dough has risen, beat it down again and stir in chocolate chips.Grease an 8 by 4 inch loaf pan and dust with flour or cocoa powder. Scrape the chocolate dough into the loaf pan and allow it to rise for another hour and fifteen minutes or so.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Bake the bread on the center rack for about 45 minutes or until it sounds hollow when you tap it. If you have an instant read meat thermometer, bread is usually done when it's a little over 200. I try to bake mine to 205 F. (see note)Let it cool in the pan for about 30 minutes, then remove from the pan and let cool completely. Slice and serve, or wrap it in plastic and freeze. I like to slice it while frozen, then thaw it out for a few minutes and toast it.

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
