Perfect for breakfast, dessert, or as an indulgent snack, this recipe combines basic bread-making techniques with the decadence of dark chocolate and a buttery crumble topping. Whether you're an experienced baker or a novice in the kitchen, this recipe is designed for you to enjoy the process and the result.
Instructions:
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the yeast and warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until the yeast dissolves and becomes slightly frothy.
2. Add sugar, bread flour, salt, olive oil, and the egg to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Begin kneading the dough on a floured surface for approximately 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment on medium speed for the same amount of time.
4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
1. In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and chopped chocolate.
2. Add the cubed butter and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to rub the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs. Refrigerate the crumble mixture while the dough is rising.
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
2. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and shape it into a rectangle that fits the length of your loaf pan.
3. Place the dough into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle the crumble topping evenly over the dough, pressing it down slightly to adhere to the dough.
1. Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
2. Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
3. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Tips:
- Ensure your yeast is fresh and active for the best rise in your bread.
- Use room temperature ingredients, especially the egg and butter, for a smoother dough and even baking.
- Knead the dough well to develop the gluten; this is crucial for the texture of the bread.
- When incorporating the dark chocolate, make sure the pieces are evenly distributed to avoid any overly dense sections.
- For a golden-brown crust, you can brush the top of the loaf with a bit of milk or egg wash before baking.
- Allow the loaf to cool completely before slicing to prevent it from becoming crumbly.
