Chocolate bread is actually a very delicious bread, which can be made by adding a proper proportion of cocoa powder to high-gluten flour. Bread made by adding cocoa powder to high-gluten flour has different flavors. When adding cocoa powder, everyone should pay attention to the proportion of cocoa powder and not add too much. Too much cocoa powder will make bread harder, too little will make it tasteless.

Don't add too much cocoa powder when making bread. If it is bread, the addition of cocoa powder should not exceed 20% at most. This is not 20% of the dough weight, but 20% of the flour weight. For example, 100 gram of flour, not more than 20 grams at most. If too much cocoa powder is added, the gluten of the dough itself may be reduced, which will not only harden the taste of bread, but also reduce the swelling degree of bread. Adding too much will also make bread taste bitter. Let me share with you how to make bread with cocoa powder.

Here is a chocolate bread. Come with me if you like it. The formula of chocolate bread: 450g of high-gluten flour, 50g of cocoa powder, 80g of sugar, 3g of salt, 7g of yeast, 50g of eggs and 50g of butter. 260 grams of water. To make this kind of bread at home, we can first melt the yeast with warm water and then mix the dough. This is more consistent with dough fermentation.

Production process: First, mix the high-gluten flour, cocoa powder, salt and sugar together, melt the yeast with warm water, dig a small pit in the middle of the flour, pour water, add eggs, grab the water and eggs evenly, and pour yeast water. Start mixing the dough and add butter until the dough surface is smooth. Relax the kneaded dough for 15 minutes, divide it into small dough of 45g, knead it into a circle, relax for 10 minutes, knead it again, and put it in a baking tray to wake it up. The proofing time is about 50 minutes, and it will wake up to twice the size. You can bake it in the oven. Oven temperature 170, oven temperature 180, 15 minutes or so.

Don't always stick to the glove film when making bread at home. You don't have to knead the dough until the edges are neat when drawing the film. Because our hands are warm and the dough has not been kneaded for a long time, we can make a glove film when making bread. In summer, we make bread and flour with ice water. We can put the water in the refrigerator in advance.
