Makes 4 loaves (20 servings)

4-1/3 c. flour         

1 tsp. yeast                 

1 tsp. sugar            

2 tsp. salt               

2-1/2 c. water                 

2-1/3 c. chocolate chips (milk or white)

Mix flour, yeast, sugar and salt together with an electric mixer. Add water and mix on medium speed for 12 minutes. Add chocolate chips and mix another two to three minutes.

Take dough out of bowl and knead lightly into a ball. Let rest 15 to 20 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Put a small dish of water in the oven to create steam.

Cut dough into four portions and knead into French bread shapes.

Bake on baking pan lined with parchment paper approximately 20 minutes or until nicely brown.

To make Joe-safe, use vegan chocolate chips.
