In this loaf of bread studded with rich chocolate chips, every bite melts into fudgy sweetness with just the slightest sourdough tang. I love to make this one to bring to a friend’s house or when my kids’ friends are coming over. And, as always, it bakes beautifully using my viral Two Pan Method, or you could use a Dutch oven if you have one.
