Notes
Half - This recipe can be easily halved. You can use 1 egg and 1 egg yolk instead of 3 if you are making half the recipe.Choco Chips - I like to add Dark or Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, but I have seen many people adding White Chocolate Chips too. You can try it out.
Whatever you use, just use the best quality chocolate chips, as the bad quality one can ruin the taste of the bread.Gluten-Free - You can substitute all-purpose flour with gluten-free flour to make this bread gluten-free. But the texture and taste will differ a bit.Healthy - To make this bread healthier, you can cut down the sugar, substitute all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour, and use nuts instead of Chocolate Chips.You can top the batter with more chocolate chips before baking. But make sure to remove the baked bread from the pan only once it is cooled properly to avoid choco chips from smudging. Just run a kh=nife around warm bread and then remove it once cooled properly.Toss the chocolate chips with some flour, before adding in the batter, to avoid sinking of the same. You can also add nuts instead of chocolate chips.Do not over bake it. Keep an eye on the bread, otherwise, it will become dry.This recipe can be easily doubled and tripled. And since it freezes beautifully, you can make many loaves at one time and freeze for later use.
