Challenge 27: Chocolate bread

[el_staplador]

So, after discovering that the sandwich toaster needs its plug replacing, the cookbook that came with the halo fryer mostly contains things that I could cook much more easily in the slow cooker, the slow cooker instruction booklet contains no recipes, and I couldn't face getting the food processor out of the cupboard, never mind washing it up, I went for the breadmaker.

Ingredients (NB cups are American cups - 8 fl oz):

3/4 cup water
1 egg, beaten
1/2 tbsp skimmed milk powder
1/2 tbsp sunflower oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 cup chopped walnuts
2 cups strong white bread flower
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1/4 tsp fast action yeast

Add to the pan as advised in your breadmaker's instructions. Use the setting for sweet breads.

I'm having a slice of this now, buttered.

I will try this! Especially as the recipe is, helpfully, in cups.

It was nice! Not too sweet.

[st_aurafina]

This sounds amazing!

[el_staplador]

It wasn't bad!

[gatheringrivers]

Sounds like my kitchen when I was growing up! Except no breadmaker....

[el_staplador]

Haha, I think it's a common problem!

[gatheringrivers]

....I meant to ask...what's a "Halo fryer"?

[el_staplador]

It's one of those 'low-fat' fryers that work by moving the food around so that one tablespoon of oil spreads very thinly across everything and cooking by halogen. 'Halo' might be a Breville tradename for it.
