Prepare to indulge in the rich flavors of chocolate and hazelnut with this delightful Chocolate Hazelnut Bread recipe, perfect for your bread machine! With just a few simple steps, you’ll have a scrumptious loaf ready to enjoy with your morning coffee or as a sweet treat any time of the day.

Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup nonfat milk, warmed
• 2 tablespoons nonfat milk
• 1 egg
• 1 1/2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups bread flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped hazelnuts

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:

   • Warm the nonfat milk in the microwave for about 40 seconds on high until it’s comfortably warm.
   • If the egg is cold, run it under tap water for a minute to bring it to room temperature.

2. Add Ingredients to the Bread Machine:

   • Follow the order suggested by your bread machine’s manufacturer for adding ingredients, except for the chocolate chips and hazelnuts.

3. Select the Cycle:

   • Set your bread machine to the sweet/nut/fruit cycle for a 1 1/2 lb loaf. This cycle ensures the perfect texture and sweetness for your chocolate hazelnut bread.

4. Monitor Dough Consistency:

   • After about 5 minutes of mixing, check the dough’s consistency. If it appears too wet, gradually add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it forms a smooth, round ball.
   • Conversely, if the dough seems too dry, add a tablespoon of water at a time until it reaches the desired consistency.

5. Add Chocolate Chips and Hazelnuts:

   • When your bread machine emits the add-in beep, it’s time to incorporate the chocolate chips and chopped hazelnuts into the dough.
   • Open the bread machine and gently fold in the chocolate chips and hazelnuts, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.

6. Bake and Enjoy:

   • Allow your bread machine to complete the baking cycle, filling your home with the irresistible aroma of freshly baked bread.
   • Once baked, carefully remove the loaf from the bread machine and let it cool slightly before slicing.
   • Serve slices of this decadent Chocolate Hazelnut Bread on its own, or with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate sauce for an extra indulgent treat!
