You will need:

For the bread

Instant 7 grams yeast

Half a pint warm water

1 lb strong white flour + flour for kneading

100 grams caster sugar

1 vanilla pod

200 grams milk chocolate chips (dark if your vegan)

100 grams dark chocolate

For the jam

4 shots 100ml amaretto

180 grams blueberries

250 grams strawberries

25 grams white caster sugar 

 

 
   

To make the Chocolate bread

Place the yeast in a large mixing bowl and pore a drop of warm water over the yeast, stir and leave for a minute. If you are not using instant yeast then leave till yeast has reacted and bubbles has formed. Sift in the flour and mix in the sugar, chopped chocolate, chocolate chips, vanilla seeds and the rest of the water. Stir till a dough forms and then switch to using your hands. Kneed on a floured surface for 10 to 15 minutes. Mould into a oval shaped loaf and leave for the minimum of two hours, bake for 25 minutes at 180c.

Allow to cool

To make the Boozy Berry Jam

Cut the strawberries in half and toss with the sugar in a bowl and then place in a hot non stick pan. Keep stirring, the fruits will release their own juices and cook in them. Keep cooking till the majority of the juices have evaporated, add the amoretto and cook down till the remaining juices have thicken. Serve while still warm on two slices of toasted chocolate bread.

This will serve 4 people. You will have half a loaf left over.
