Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups water about 105 F, warm
  • 1 tablespoon active dry yeast 1 teaspoon
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 5 ½-6 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 12 oz chocolate chips I use dark or semisweet chocolate chips, package

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, stir together water, yeast, and sugar.
  2. Let stand 5-10 minutes, or until foamy
  3. Stir in salt, oil, and 2 cups flour.
  4. Continue stirring in enough flour to form a soft, sticky dough (It takes me around 6-6 ¼ cups).
  5. Cover bowl with greased plastic wrap, and let it sit in a warm place for 15 minutes.
  6. Knead in chocolate chips. It’s ok if they aren't perfectly incorporated at this point.
  7. With lightly floured hands, divide dough into 8 pieces.
  8. Place dough on a lightly floured surface.
  9. Form a piece into a rectangle (about 4x2 inches).
  10. Fold top 3rd of dough back to middle.
  11. Fold bottom 3rd of dough back to middle.
  12. Continue until dough is about 8 inches in length.
  13. Dust dough with additional flour if desired (this just gives it a more rustic look).
  14. Repeat process with remaining dough.
  15. Place dough onto parchment-lined or silicone baking mat-lined baking sheets.
  16. Slash the tops diagonally with a thin, sharp knife.
  17. Cover with greased plastic wrap, and allow the loaves to sit while you preheat your oven to 350 F.
  18. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

Notes

  • Flour: It's important add only enough flour to make the dough by feel. I've included tips to help make the dough. Adding too much flour will give you dry or heavy bread.
  • Pearl sugar: If you'd like to use pearl sugar, sprinkle a little on the risen, shaped loaf just before baking.
  • Rewarm: If you'd like to rewarm the bread, wrap it in aluminum foil and place it in a 325F oven and warm until the bread is heated through.
  • Nutrition values are estimates.
