Here it is. I phoned Williams-Sonoma with my vague request (a few years ago, I don't know when, you printed a recipe... ) and within a few days it was in my mailbox: Chocolate Bread Combine 3 pkgs. active dry yeast with 1/2 cup warm water and 1 tsp. sugar. Let proof. Combine: 12 cups flour 1 cup dutch process cocoa 2 Tbs. salt 14 ozs. small chocolate bits 1/3 cup sugar Add: yeast mixture 4 cups warm water 1 egg 1 oz. shortening Mix and knead for 10 minutes adding more flour or water if necessary. Put in greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let double in bulk. Punch down and divide into 3 or 4 pieces. Fold and shape into loaf pans, or into round free-form loaves and place on a buttered baking sheet. Cover and let rise until double. Bake in a 450 F oven for 15 minutes, reduce heat to 375 F and bake another 25 minutes until crusty and done. -- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Janet Smuga I've had a great many troubles in my time, mtuxo!smuga and most of them never happened. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
