ABM - Bread of Two Chocolates

1 cup milk, whole or skim
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
1 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour
1 cup semolina flour
1/3 cup nonfat dry milk
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa
1 tablespoon instant expresso
1/4 to 1 teaspoon salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons yeast

Remember that if the instructions that came with your bread machine
call for the leavening to be plaed in the baking pan first, the
other dry ingredients should be added next, before the liquid
ingredients.

Otherwise, pour the milk into the pan and measure in the butter,
vanilla extract, chocolate chips and walnuts.  Add the all-purpose
and semolina flours, the dry milk, sugar, cocoa, instant expresso,
salt, baking soda, and if the instructions for your machine so
direct, the yeast.  If your machine has a separate dispenser for
the leavening, spoon the yeast into the dispenser after all the
other ingredients have been measured into the baking pan.  Use a
quick bake cycle for this loaf.

I've used entirely all-purpose flour instead of the combination,
instant cappucino or extra cocoa instead of espresso, and left out
the walnuts and it still tastes great.


Peppermint Butter

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

Cream the butter and powdered sugar until smooth.  Add the peppermint
extract and blend well.  Serve with a sprig of fresh mint from the
garden.
