Look, its not about the chocolate…it really isn't. (Not this time!) I remember eating the most divine bread at restaurants in the USA on occasion that was a deep brown rye, without the expected dryness of a whole grain. Fragrant, soft, yeasty scented small rolls, that were indescribable…well I have DONE it…these are they. A beautifully soft textured bread and I think it would make an excellent loaf, though I used the cute little individual loaf tin for these, but it is really up to you!
SO…get on to Brew Choc immediately and get yours in the pantry. Any flavour works with these, because, for once, like I mentioned…it is not about the chocolate! Its about the antioxidants…bring 'em on!
