Breadmaking, the Iggy’s Mom way

In some parts of the intarwebz I am known as Iggy, first of all. Now that we have that out of the way, let’s bake some bread.

My mother made most of what we ate growing up, especially our bread. I still have a hard time eating storebought bread. It just tastes so spongy and bland and soggy to me. I like a hearty, dense bread. Thick-cut. With cheese. Mmm. Anyway, so when I’m not being lazy, I make bread which my children then refuse to eat so that I have to pay $2.29 per loaf of HFCS-free no-preservative wheat bread for them at the grocery store which they then eat inside of a week, but I digress. It makes me happy to eat homemade bread and that’s the important thing.

Lightly buttered goodness, waiting to be sliced.

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 cup baking cocoa
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tsp vanilla
  • 3/4 cup white chocolate baking chips
  • 1/2 cup caramel ice cream topping
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet baking chips

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease an 8 inch square pan.

Combine flour, cocoa, and salt and set aside. Beat butter and sugars until creamy. Add two eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla extract, mix well. Add flour mixture gradually. Pour about 2/3 of the batter into the pan and sprinkle the white chocolate chips over the top. Pour the caramel over this. Add the remaining egg to the remaining 1/3 of the batter and mix well. Stir in semi-sweet chips. Spread over the caramel topping.

Bake for 30-35 minutes. Cool in pan on a wire rack. Try not to eat it all at once.
