Mocha Bread (Yeast Bread) image

I was inspired one day in culinary school after one of our bread baking sessions and came up with this bread. I have tweaked it a little bit to improve it. It is good served with a sweet cinnamon butter.

Time 2h40m

Yield 2 loaves, 32 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 cups ap flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup super strong coffee (I've used espresso and New Orleans iced coffee concentrate)
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon yeast
1 egg
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons bittersweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons melted butter

Steps:

  • Heat the coffee and water to 110 - 130 deg F.
  • Melt the chocolate chips and butter together.
  • In the bowl of a standing mixer, mix 4 c flour, salt, brown sugar, yeast and cocoa powder.
  • On low speed, slowly add the water and coffee.
  • Mix until incorporated, scraping the sides of the bowl as necessary.
  • Add the chocolate/butter mixture and the egg.
  • Increase the speed of your mixer to medium, add the remaining flour a couple of tablespoons at a time, until the dough forms a ball and scrapes the sides of the bowl pretty well clean.
  • Knead in the mixer for 5 - 7 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  • Remove the dough from the bowl, knead briefly on a very lightly floured counter.
  • Form the dough into a ball, place it back in the bowl, cover it with a lint free towel and let it rise until doubled in size - 45 minutes to an hour.
  • Punch the dough down, shape into two round loaves. Cover and let rise again, until double, about 30 - 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the oven to 350.
  • Mix the 2 tbsp milk and the 2 tbsp melted butter in a small bowl. Brush over the tops of your loaves.
  • Bake for 35 - 40 minutes.

I'm not a huge fan of coffee, but I really enjoyed this bread. The chocolate flavor is very prominent.

I've tried many mocha bread recipes, but this one is by far the best. The bread is moist and fluffy, and the glaze is the perfect finishing touch.
