Title: CHOCOLATE WALNUT BUTTER BREAD
Categories: Breads, Breakfast
Yield: 32 servings

1/2 c Warm water
1 pk Yeast
3 1/2 c Flour
1 tb Sugar
1 1/4 ts Salt
4 ea Eggs, room temp.
12 tb Butter, softened
1 c Walnuts, chopped(lg. pieces)
6 oz Chocolate, semisweet *

* Use 6-one ounce squares, broken or chopped in large
pieces. Put the water in a large mixing bowl and
sprinkle in the yeast. Stir and allow to stand for 5
minutes to dissolve. Add the flour, sugar, salt, and
eggs to the yeast mixture and beat vigorously until
well blended. Beat in the butter in Tablespoon sized
pieces until it is all incorporated and the batter is
smooth. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the
batter rise to double its bulk. Stir the batter down
and add the walnuts and chocolate pieces. Spoon the
batter into two greased 8 1/2x4 1/2x3-inch loaf pans
(the pans should be half full so the loaves will have
nicely rounded tops when they finish baking) Bake in a
preheated 350 oven for about 45 minutes. Remove from
the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes, then turn
loaves out onto racks. Makes 2 loaves; about 16 slices
each. Source: The Breakfast Book, Marion Cunningham
