Equipment

  • Bread Machine

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Warm milk
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 3 tbsp Honey
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 Egg
  • 4 tsp Butter
  • 3 cups Bread Flour
  • 3 tbsp Cocoa powder
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup Peanuts (coarsely chopped)

Instructions

  • Pour milk and water into the bread machine pan. Then, add egg, butter, honey and vanilla.
  • Mix the flour, salt, and cocoa powder in a bowl, then add the mixture to the bread machine pan. And lastly add the active dry yeast.
  • Select the dough cycle from your bread machine. Allowing it to work its magic in kneading the dough.
  • Add the chopped peanuts wehn your bread machine beeps for mix-ins (during kneading). If your machine doesn't beep, add them 5-10 minutes into kneading.
  • Prepare a large bowl and brush it with oil to prevent from sticking. When the dough cycle is done, transfer it into your prepared bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and top with kitchen a towel.
    Place in a warm place and wait until it doubles in size. Once doubled, place the dough on a clean surface. If your dough is still sticky, lightly flour the surface before continuing.
  • Gently shape it into a loaf or place it in a greased loaf pan for more structured shape.
    Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise for 30-45 minutes or until doubled in size.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 ℉ (175 ℃ )
    Bake the loaf for 35-40 minutes or until the top is firm and slightly golden.
    Top the bottom of the loaf - if it sounds hollow, its done.
    Let it cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.
