Ingredients

• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons Dark brown sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cups Dark chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 0.5 cups Raisins

Directions

Step 1

Ensure your bread maker pan is clean and dry.

Step 2

Add the water, unsalted butter, dark brown sugar, and salt into the bread maker's pan in the order recommended by your machine's manufacturer (typically wet ingredients first).

Step 3

Carefully layer the all-purpose flour on top of the liquids, ensuring that they are fully covering the liquids.

Step 4

Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and sprinkle it evenly over the flour layer.

Step 5

Create a small well in the dry ingredients (without touching the liquids below) and add the instant yeast into the well.

Step 6

Place the bread maker pan securely into the machine and select the 'Sweet Bread' or 'Basic Bread' cycle. Use a light or medium crust setting, depending on your preference.

Step 7

At the add-in beep (or approximately 5 minutes before the kneading phase ends), add the dark chocolate chips and raisins.

Step 8

Allow the bread maker to complete the cycle, baking the loaf to perfection.

Step 9

Once baking is complete, remove the bread maker pan and carefully remove the loaf. Let it cool on a wire rack for at least 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 10

Store leftover slices in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage.
