Mocha French Bread With White Chocolate
- 100 grams Bread (strong) flour
- 100 grams Cake flour
- 1 tbsp Cocoa powder
- 1 tbsp Instant coffee granules
- 3 grams Salt
- 145 grams Lukewarm water
- 2 grams Dry yeast
- 3 to 4 drops Lemon juice
- 30 to 40 grams White chocolate
- Put the water in a bowl, warm it up in the microwave, and dissolve the cocoa and coffee in it.
- When the liquid has cooled down, add all the ingredients, excluding the white chocolate, to the bread maker and knead for 7 minutes.
- Stop the program at that point.
- Take the dough out into a bowl, and leave it to rise to 2 to 3 times its original volume (1st rising).
- Take the dough out gently onto a floured work surface, round it off lightly, cover with a tightly wrung out moistened kitchen towel and leave to rest for 15 minutes.
- Flatten the dough out gently, trying not to push out the air bubbles in the dough.
- Top with plenty of chopped chocolate, roll the dough up from the end and form into a long, thin shape.
- If you are making two loaves, divide the chocolate chips too.
- Stretch the dough out very gently, or the chocolate chips will pop out.
- Place the formed dough on a piece of kitchen parchment paper, and hold the shape using a canvas mat.
- Leave until it has risen to 1.5 times its original size (2nd rising).
- Preheat the oven to 250C, timing it to when the dough finishes rising.
- Preheat the oven tray as well as the oven.
- Place the dough with the kitchen parchment paper on the hot oven tray, slash the tops and mist well.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes until well done.
- The chocolate chips come jumping out from the slashed tops.
- The slash opened up nicely, and the edges have curled open neatly too.
- The air pockets...are a bit small in this dough.
- It does tastes properly of mocha and chocolate!
- The crust is crisp and chewy!
- It's a pretty expected combination, but this bread is also delicious with some orange peel kneaded into the mocha dough.
- The bitterness, sourness and sweetness is delicious.
