CHOCOLATE BREAD.

This bread is easily made and has a great chocolate flavour. Chocolate bread can be sliced and spread with butter/ marg, it is also great toasted, (and finished off with peanut butter but that's my weakness). Ingredients......450 gm of strong white bread flour,1 tsp of salt, 25 gm of cocoa powder, 1 and 1/2 tsp of instant dried yeast, 2 tbs of soft light brown sugar, 200 ml of lukewarm water, 1 tbs of oi. Lightly grease a 900gm/ 2lb loaf pan. Mix together the flour, salt and cocoa in a large bowl. Stir in the yeast and sugar. Make a well in the centre of the dry mix and add the oil and water. Mix to form a dough. Turn out the dough on a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with cling wrap and leave in a draught free place for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size. Turn out the risen dough, place and shape into the loaf pan. Cover and leave to prove for 30 minutes in a draught free place. Preheat your oven to 200 deg C. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until it sounds hollow when tapped on the base. Transfer the loaf to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy.
