Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl Bread Recipe

It’s official: I’m addicted to this chocolate cinnamon swirl bread. It’s chocolatey. It’s cinnamon-y. It’s soft and swirly. And most important – it’s chocolate in bread… and you can totally eat it for breakfast. Did I mention the chocolate?! The chocolate that’s

This bread was inspired by our recent trip home (over Easter). It was just a quick Saturday/Sunday trip, so we stayed with family. Sunday morning we woke up to a wonderfully delicious spread of fruits, pastries, breads, and bagels. After eating approximately 75 strawberries, a pineapple and a half, and an extra crispy everything bagel loaded with cream cheese (and tomatoes!), I made my way over to the sweet breads and pastries. As I scanned the spread my eyes instantly locked down on the humble yet intriguing loaf of chocolate cinnamon swirl bread. Chocolate!

After consuming 2 slices and then half of a third (stopping myself only because Easter dinner was only hours away), I pulled out my mini notepad and jotted down these exact words “MAKE CINNAMON SWIRL BREAD WITH CHOCOLATE ASAP”. And that my friends, is exactly what I did.

Chocolate Cinnamon Swirl Pumpkin Brioche Bread

This bread is a simple combination of very basic ingredients. If you have flour, salt, yeast, cinnamon, granulated sugar, brown sugar, water, chocolate, an egg, AND some patience (a very important ingredient in this recipe!) —-> YOU CAN MAKE THIS BREAD TODAY. Shoot… did I just scream that? Sorry. This bread just gets me

So, above I mentioned a whole slew of ingredients plus one ingredient not found on shelves or in stores. That my friends, would be patience. You will need patience not because this recipe is hard to follow or complicated in steps and procedures, but because this is a real bread (with yeast and rising and kneading), and with that comes waiting. You’ll have to wait while the the dough rises, and again for a second rise once it’s been stuffed and rolled. Waiting is never fun, but hey – at least you can keep busy while you wait. Read a book, watch a movie, clean your house – I dunno! You’ll figure it out 😉 And a few hours later, your reward for all that waiting will be warm, gooey, cinnamon swirl chocolate bread. #Worththewaitbaby
