This super fun chocolate stuffed bread is easy to make. Use refrigerated pizza dough from your local store or make up a batch of your own bread dough to use as the base!
Make bread dough according to instructions through its first rise. (Or remove purchased dough from the fridge.) You want enough for one loaf of bread.
1 recipe of your favorite bread dough
Flour surface well. Roll dough to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick into a rectangle 4 inches on the short side.
Lightly sprinkle brown sugar along the length of the dough.
1/2 cup brown sugar
Sprinkle cinnamon over brown sugar, and gently chocolate chips in just a little so they'll hold.
1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
Roll it up like a giant cinnamon roll so it's long. Next, curl it around itself and press the two open ends together to make a circle.
Place bread dough onto pizza peel sprinkled with cornmeal to rise. Alternatively, place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
cornmeal
Let dough rise for an hour, lightly covered with a barely damp towel.
Twenty minutes into the rise, preheat oven to 450 degrees with a small, empty pan on the bottom shelf.
At the end of the rise, place bread in the oven on your stone or cookie sheet. Immediately fill a cup with water and carefully put water into empty pan to create steam for a crunchy outer crust. Close door immediately.
Bake for 35 minutes. Let cool to room temperature before slicing.
Feel free to make your own bread dough or use either frozen bread dough that you've thawed or refrigerated pizza dough from the grocery store. You want enough dough to make a single loaf of bread. The shaping isn't critical, as this is a free-form loaf, so don't stress on it!
