Baking has been the name of the game in my house lately. What else is there to do when you’re stuck where you are for days, weeks, and months on end? When we decided to make some steak for dinner, I thought it was high time to whip up some of that famous ‘steal house’ bread that we all know and love.

You know the bread that I’m talking about. The soft, sweet, fluffy brown bread that is often served up with a whipped honey butter. This bread is exactly like that one. The only difference is that it’s homemade and in a larger loaf form!

So what makes this bread so brown anyway? Well, the secret is… cocoa powder! I know that sounds a little whacky, but trust me when I say that you won’t taste the cocoa in there. It’s just there for a touch of added sweetness and color.

This makes a rather large loaf too. We’re talking pretty average when compared to any loaf that you buy at the grocery store. The slices are perfect for sandwiches or even a to be used as a sweeter breakfast toast in the morning if you happen to have any leftovers!
