cup semisweet chocolate chips
Place the ingredients, except the chocolate chips, in the pan according to the order in
the manufacturer’s instructions. Set crust on medium and program for the Basic or
Sweet Bread cycle; press Start. (This recipe is not suitable for use with the Delay
Timer.) At the beep, add the chocolate chips.
When the baking cycle ends, immediately remove the bread from the pan and place it
on a rack. Let cool to room temperature before slicing.
The Perfect Chocolate Glaze
If you would like to coat one of your breads with a chocolate glaze, here is
the one to use. Begin preparing the glaze as soon as you remove the loaf
from the bread pan to cool, so you can glaze the bread while it is still warm.
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
Place a plate or piece of waxed paper under the cooling rack holding the
bread to catch the drips from the glaze.
Melt the ingredients together in a double boiler over simmering water, stir-
ring gently with a small whisk until smooth. Remove from the heat and im-
mediately drizzle the bread slowly with the glaze, letting some drip down the
sides. Cool to room temperature to set the glaze before slicing.
