White Swirl Chocolate Breakfast Bread


Chocolate and brown sugar are key ingredients in this bread. It may look like difficult to do, but it is in-fact super easy. Also, detailed steps and photos will make it fun baking project. Chocolate bread does not need many ingredients, but it is all about art of baking fancy bread.

Tell me, who does not love that? I am huge fan of fresh baked bread fragrance!!
Two types of breads - white and chocolate gives it nice texture contrast. White Bread adds a crispy exterior and inner chocolate bread is little sweet, lite, airy and moist. Toast it lightly and spread some butter for morning breakfast Or you can layer some Nutella (hazelnut spread) to enhance the taste of chocolate.
If you are at home this weekend, try baking this bread. I bet it will vanish from your kitchen counter in no time.
