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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
