There's nothing homier than the smell of fresh baked bread (other than chocolate chip cookies). I'm taking a break from so much of the sweetness this year (although chocolate is sure to be involved somewhere); BREAD is the theme of 2013! Bread can present itself in many shapes and forms, anything from yeast-based, rising bread to quick bread to scones to muffins to biscuits to pancakes and waffles, and whatever else I can find. Join me as we will be "rolling in the dough" this year.

Bread Recipe #19 - Almond-Studded Chocolate Loaf
This is almost dessert-worthy; a scoop of ice cream on a slice drizzled with some chocolate syrup would be superb!
Ingredients: 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup baking cocoa, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda, 1 egg, 1 cup 2% milk, 3/4 cup packed brown sugar, 1/3 cup canola oil, 1/2 teaspoon almond extract, 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped almonds, divided, 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons miniature semisweet chocolate chips, divided.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees; grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa, baking powder, salt and baking soda. In a small bowl, whisk egg, milk, brown sugar, oil and extract. Stir into the dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in 1 cup almonds and 3/4 cup chocolate chips.
Spoon into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle with remaining almonds and chips. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack.
Makes: 1 loaf or 2 mini loafs (reduce baking time for mini loafs).
