2 Breads
After so many searches for a good chocolate bread i took Hamelman's formula for french bread.
Replace 15 gms of flour with cocoa powder. Add 15 gms brown sugar (the best u can get) and finally, 120 gms 53% dark chocolate.
Didn't change the instruction. So far it's the best one i ever ate.
The second bread is another one from hamelman's book, Golden Raisin and Walnut Bread, which i love and did more then once.
But that unic combination is something i ate in east europe. So instead of the Walnut and the Raisin i put 5 gms dry basil and 50 gms Sunflower seed.

That would be great too with the addition of dried cherries. I don't have the book; do you mind posting the recipe with your modification? --- cake diva

It's raining here in SW Ohio- good time to make bread. I'll get my ingredients ready now and start making chocolate cherry bread. Thank you, and your English is fine.
