Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole milk
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 piece Large egg
• 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 0.75 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup Pecans, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Pour the milk, melted butter, and beaten egg into the bread machine pan.

Step 2

Add the sugar and vanilla extract to the wet ingredients in the pan.

Step 3

Carefully spoon the all-purpose flour into the bread machine pan, ensuring the wet ingredients are fully covered.

Step 4

Sprinkle the salt evenly over the surface of the flour.

Step 5

Make a small well in the center of the flour and add the active dry yeast. Ensure the yeast does not touch the wet ingredients.

Step 6

Set the bread machine to the 'Sweet Bread' or 'Basic' setting with a medium crust color (or the equivalent setting on your machine). Select the 1.5-pound loaf size, if applicable.

Step 7

Start the machine and allow it to mix the dough. Once mixed, the bread machine will begin the first rise cycle.

Step 8

When the machine signals to add mix-ins (usually after the first knead cycle), add the chocolate chips and chopped pecans.

Step 9

Allow the machine to complete its kneading, rising, and baking cycles. This typically takes about 3 hours, depending on your machine's settings.

Step 10

Once the baking cycle is complete, carefully remove the bread pan from the machine using oven mitts. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes.

Step 11

Carefully transfer the bread from the pan to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing.
