Chocolate Cream Cheese Killer Toast Bread
Those who love chocolate and cream cheese are going to love this bread. The bread dough is based on killer toast, with cream cheese and cocoa powder added to the dough making it creamy and chocolatey. Then I chop up one whole bar of Ghirardelli white chocolate and stuff into each portion of bread, a real treat for chocolate lover.
Anyway, this is really really similar to my previous recipe of Cream Cheese Killer Toast Bread. The dough is practically the same, with an addition of 10 gram of cocoa powder. The rest of the steps for the dough is exactly the same.
I use white chocolate as filling simply for color contrast reason, so when I bite into the chocolate bread, I get to see white chocolate filling inside chocolate bread. If you prefer using dark chocolate, feel free to use your favorite dark chocolate.
I don’t know if you can see from the photo below, but bread made with killer toast recipe is really soft and really fluffy. Those who love bread sold in any Asian bakery is going to love this bread, and if this is you, do give the recipe a try.
Chocolate Cream Cheese Killer Toast Bread
Ingredients
- 120 gram warm milk (38 Celsius/100 Fahrenheit)
- 3 gram active dry yeast
- 5 gram sugar
- 260 gram all purpose flour (or bread flour)

Instructions
- Mix warm milk with active dry yeast and 5 gram sugar. Let sit until foamy, about 20 minutes.
