This bread was delicious, very rich and moist. I do find that generally I need to add on 10+ minutes to the baking times from the book. I added on 15 minutes to the high end of the range given for this bread and I think I went 5 minutes too far. The outside was quite crisp, perhaps a little too dry, but it certainly won't keep us from eating it! Next time I'd just add on 10 minutes though. Overall it's quite good and, as the book says, a great excuse to have chocolate for breakfast! I really enjoyed the peanut butter cream cheese spread, but Zach said he felt it was overwhelmed by the super chocolately-ness of the bread and didn't really add much for him. He'd rather have it plain.
If you head over to the old post on BAKED Sunday Mornings you can see how everyone else's loaves turned out and get the recipe.

What a great loaf of bread! That was a hit - along with the scones. So many great recipes in that book! Happy Sunday!

I'm with you Bourbonnatrix - The scones are my first post, but this loaf is looking pretty tempting.
Oh, I love this bread and must make it again soon...so many wonderful things to try I just keep moving on, but I will go back to this one. I was dreaming about it just yesterday. Nice to see it again in your photo.
