Sharing with you an easy White Swirl Chocolate Breakfast Bread recipe. A perfect not-too-sweet breakfast chocolate bread with layer of white bread. It looks delicious and tastes delicious too. This bread recipe was sitting in my recipe box to type-in the steps. But my website overhaul did not give enough time to share it with you. And I not wanted to share this bread recipe in hurry.
When I started baking bread at home, I wanted to look at the recipes with picture of each step to understand what I am doing. So my motto to hold on to this bread recipe for long was to make sure steps are clear and concise. So you can follow'em exactly and make this scrumptious, easy and fancy bread at home.
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.
Whenever I bake this bread, it comes out super moist, and fluffy. My kitchen fills with aroma of chocolate and fresh baked yeast 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.

Additional Notes:
Foaming confirms yeast is active and will make good fluffy bread.

White Dough - In one of the bowl with poof yeast, add 1 and 1/2 cup flour, 1/4 cup warm water, 1/2 tsp salt. Knead this mixture for 5 minutes to build the gluten. Transfer the dough to oiled bowl and cover to rise in a warm place until double in size. about 2 hrs.

Transfer the dough to an 9" bread loaf pan. I have used non-stick pan.

Bake in preheated oven in middle rack for 10 minutes at 425 F. Then lower the oven temperature to 375 F and continue baking for 25 minutes or until top is nice light brown and bread sounds hollow when tapped at the bottom. Transfer bread to a cooling rack, let it cool completely before slicing. Toast it, apply some lite butter and enjoy!!

This was great! I didn't add the coffee because I really detest any slight coffee taste, but that's the only real change I made. I had to add extra flour because both my doughs were too wet to knead, but they came out fine. What a fun recipe! The chocolate part is just barely sweet and its so yummy with butter!Savita
🙌 I'm glad you enjoyed. So many options with homemade food. Isn't it? This bread and butter are happy marriage, for sure!
