How to Make Chocolate Walnut Butter Bread

  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast in 1 cup (240ml) of warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 3 cups (375g) all-purpose flour, ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 large eggs to the yeast mixture. Beat with a mixer or vigorously by hand until well combined.
  3. Gradually beat in ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, softened, until the batter is smooth and creamy.
  4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the batter rise in a warm place until doubled in size (approximately 1-1.5 hours).
  5. Gently stir down the risen batter. Fold in 1 cup (100g) chopped walnuts and ½ cup (60g) semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  6. Grease two 8x4 inch loaf pans. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared pans.
  7. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 45-50 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the loaves cool in the pans for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
