CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY TWIST BREAD (BREAD MAKER OPTION)



Chocolate Cranberry Twist Bread (Bread Maker Option) image

This is from Canadian Living. It is sweet, sticky and soooo good! It would be great for a brunch. It sounds complicated but is actually quite easy. Takes awhile to make. What I like is this recipe has a bread maker option (see bottom of recipe). I did it in my breadmachine and used Fleischmann's breadmachine yeast. While the recipe calls for chocolate chips I used a chopped up chocolate bar instead and think that this made it even better.

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your bread.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bread tough.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place. This will help it to rise properly.
  • Bake the bread until it's golden brown. This will ensure that it's cooked through.
  • Let the bread cool completely before slicing it. This will help to prevent it from crumbling.
