Chocolate Raspberry Bread Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter a 2-quart baking dish.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, milk, egg and yolk mixture, brown sugar, vanilla, and salt. Make sure the mixture is well combined.
• Add half of the brioche to the prepared baking dish, and sprinkle evenly with half of the raspberries and chocolate. Top with the remaining brioche, raspberries, and chocolate.
• Pour the cream mixture over the brioche mixture. Press down gently, cover it with plastic wrap, and let stand for 30 minutes. You want the bread to soak up that luscious custard.
• Bring a kettle of water to a boil. Remove the plastic wrap and set the baking dish in a large roasting pan. Fill the roasting pan with enough boiling water to get about halfway up the sides of the baking dish. Carefully place the pan in the oven and bake until the custard is set (even in the very center), and the bread has puffed, 50 to 60 minutes. Let cool slightly and remove the baking dish from the water. Serve warm, room temperature, or chilled.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Spray bottom and sides of 8-inch square (2-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In large bowl, place bread, 1 cup raspberries and chocolate chips.
• In medium bowl, mix milk, egg product, brown sugar and vanilla with wire whisk or fork until blended. Pour egg mixture over bread mixture; stir gently until bread is coated. Spread in baking dish.
• Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until golden brown and set.
• Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, mix granulated sugar and cornstarch. Stir in water and thawed raspberries. Heat to boiling over medium heat, stirring constantly and pressing raspberries to release juice. Boil about 1 minute or until thick. Place small strainer over small bowl. Pour mixture through strainer to remove seeds; discard seeds. Serve sauce with warm bread pudding.

Steps:

• Up to 3 days before you want to bake (and best if at least 1 day), mix the yeast, 400g of the flour, the sugar and 1 tsp salt in a big bowl. Whisk together the milk, melted butter and egg, then tip into the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon. Cover tightly with greased cling film and chill at least overnight or up to 3 days.
• When you're ready to finish the bread, heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Add the remaining flour to the dough and use your hands to mix in. Tip onto a lightly floured surface and lightly knead to completely bring together. Roll out with a little more flour to a 50 x 30cm rectangle. Spread the Nutella all over the dough. Scatter the raspberries evenly over, then press lightly with your hands so they stick into the dough a bit.
• With a long side facing you, roll up as tightly as you can (like a Swiss roll). Use a sharp knife, dusted with a little flour, to cut the roll in half down the length - but not quite through at one end, so the 2 strips are still joined. Twist the 2 strips together, then bring the ends together to make a wreath, pinching the ends together to stick. Lift onto a baking sheet, scatter with the hazelnuts and granulated sugar, and bake for 30-40 mins until browned and crusty.
• Cool until just warm. Serve with butter, raspberry jam and extra Nutella, if you like.

Steps:

• Lightly grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan; set aside.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

• Add nuts; stir well.
• In a separate bowl combine eggs, milk, raspberry jam, and vanilla.
• Beat until blended.
• Add melted chocolate mixture and milk mixture to the flour mixture,stir just until moistened.
• Pour into prepared pan.
• Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the loaf comes out clean.
• Place the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes.
• Remove from pan, cool completely.
