CHOCOLATE CROISSANT BREAD PUDDING



Chocolate Croissant Bread Pudding image

I love bread pudding and I love chocolate croissants. Why not combine them? My daughters love chocolate, so this was a winner in my house. It's like a combination of a soft-brownie-cakey-chocolate-chip-cookie with a bit of a creamy texture inside. It tastes good warm, as all melted chocolate desserts do, but even better cooled. My daughters couldn't wait to eat, so good luck holding out for it to cool.

Tips:

- To achieve a moist and tender crumb, use a combination of all-purpose flour and bread flour. Bread flour has a higher protein content, which helps create a strong gluten structure. - Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal. - Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined. - If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of vinegar or lemon juice to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using. - Bake the bread in a loaf pan that has been greased and floured. This will help prevent the bread from sticking. - Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Chocolate bread is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its rich chocolate flavor and moist, tender crumb, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give chocolate bread a try.
