    CHOCOLATE!!!  At first, when I was making videos on YouTube, I was very disorganized when choosing recipes, so you will be seeing quite a few chocolate recipes in a row.  However, I love how I took this picture of the chocolate bread.  The sad thing is, I have no idea what setting it was on.

    • Add in some chocolate chips if you love sugar-loading 🙂 It would definitely take your bread to a higher level of deliciousness!

        Hi Eish! Oh I am sorry to hear that, and I apologize for the delay in responding. If you followed the measurements, the bread should be just enough, not too thin and not too dry.
