Sweet Sundays: White Chocolate Bread

The chocolate pieces on the outside of the bread turn golden and crisp, and even more of the chocolate oozes out during the baking process. The sweetness permeates every last bite. Eat it for breakfast, or dessert, or anytime in between.

ingredients:

8 cups flour

1 teaspoon yeast

1 tablespoon wheat gluten

2 teaspoons salt

3 1/2 cups water

2 3/4 cups white chocolate chips




directions:

Place flour, yeast and gluten in a small bowl. Mix on medium-low or first speed for 1 minute. Add water and mix for another 2 minutes. Add salt and continue to mix for another 8-10 minutes on medium or second speed.

Add chips and mix for 1-2 minutes or until the chips are well distributed throughout the dough. Take dough out of bowl and lightly knead into a ball. Let rest for 15-20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 450?F. Divide dough into 5 equal portions and knead into the desired form. Let the loaves proof for about 30-45 minutes, depending on the heat and humidity of the area.

Place uncooked loaves on a baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake for approximately 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes.
