How to Make Bread Machine Chocolate Bread
- Allow all ingredients to come to room temperature.
- Mash the bananas and melt the butter.
- Add the wet ingredients to the bread machine’s baking pan – mashed bananas, melted butter, beaten eggs, vanilla extract, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar, and honey or sweetener.
- On top of the wet mixture, carefully add the flour, ensuring it covers the liquid. Then, sprinkle the chocolate powder and baking soda evenly over the flour.
- Set your Zojirushi Bread Machine to the appropriate bread setting for a one lb. loaf. If available, select the ‘Cake”’ or a similar setting to accommodate the sweetness and texture of this recipe.
- Close the lid and start the bread machine. The machine will mix, knead, and bake the bread.
- Carefully remove the bread pan from the machine once the baking cycle is complete. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Slice your Chocolate Bread with Banana and serve. This bread is delicious when enjoyed fresh, but it can also be toasted with butter for an extra treat.
Tips
- Sifting Dry Ingredients: Sift the flour and chocolate powder together. This tip helps mix them thoroughly and aerates the flour, making the bread lighter.
- Layering the Ingredients: In most bread machines, it’s recommended to add liquids first and then dry ingredients, which prevents the flour from sticking to the bottom and helps the baking soda to activate better.
- Check the Dough Consistency: After the initial mixing stage, open the lid and check the dough. It should form a soft, slightly tacky ball. If it’s too dry, add a teaspoon of water; if it is too wet, add a tablespoon of flour.
- Avoid Opening the Lid: Resist the urge to open the lid too often during baking, as this can affect the temperature and lead to an uneven bake.
- Cooling the Bread: Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack, which makes it easier to remove from the pan and improves the texture.
