Thanks for sharing your recipe. The dough seems much less wet than I was expecting for a no-knead. Is that to be expected?

I was skeptical at first because I have not had great luck with the no-knead recipes. Usually the crust is too hard and the bread too chewy. I think it’s the milk wash that made the difference. Maybe I just finally got the process right this time and need (pun not intended) to go back to try the basic recipe.

This recipe worked great. After the first rise I made a big square out of the dough, sprinkled it heavily with Pecans, and then folded it over on itself to make a "loaf like" shape. This was a compromise between plain chocolate bread and double cherry chocolate that seems more like a dessert. I also did not sprinkle the top with sugar, just to make it less like a sweet treat. It came out brown, dense, and totally satisfying for breakfast.

Thanks for this recipe!

This sounds insanely delicious! I made cocoa buns (yeast) the other day and my dad loved it, so I’ll be bookmarking this recipe to make for him later.

Got it. Sorry, I should have seen that in the notes! I used the dutch oven and the crust burnt around the edges (not the top). But I LOVE the bread – added chopped dried cherries and chunks of chocolate Coincidentally Alton Brown had a show last night about baking bread in a pre-heated dutch oven and used a slightly lower temp, which maybe I will try next time. It’s wonderful though,Thanks!
