Description: Chocolate loaf If you are a lover of all things choc, this is a must for you, and makes for an easy sweet, a breakfast, an anytime snack! Give it a try! Makes 1 loaf 400 g strong white flour 1 tsp salt 50 g cocoa 7g fast action yeast 50g soft brown sugar 50g melted butter 1 tsp vanilla extract 300 - 350 ml hot water 150g good quality chocolate chips You need a 900g loaf tin, greased and lined so you can pull the loaf out easily Sieve all together and stir in the 7g fast action yeast and the sugar Melt in the butter and stir in the vanilla and mix into the flour mix Use a spoon to mix between 280ml to 300ml of the water and then flour your hands and knead. You will judge if there is need for more water, it should be sticky at first, but the water will be absorbed as you knead Knead for at least 10 minutes Roll into a rectangle and sprinkle with half the chocolate Fold together into a ball and roll again to add the rest of the chocolate and repeat the process Make into a sausage shape and then into the loaf tin Leave for an hour to prove Preheat the oven to 220ºC, 425ºF, Gas 7 Put the loaf into the oven and bake between 30 - 40 minutes After 20 minutes turn the oven down to 190ºC, 375ºF, Gas 5 and leave for ten minutes before testing - doing the Thud method - it should sound hollow when hit on the bottom
