Equipment:
- Baker's Secret Loaf Pans (Any size 9" x 5", 11" x 6")
- 2-1 Scraper & Spatula 10"
- Brush and Spatula Set
- 4pcs Measuring Cups with Scraper
- Mixing Bowls
- Carbon Steel Rolling Pin
- Whisk (Silicone OR Stainless Steel)
Ingredients
- 7 to 8 ounces marzipan, chopped
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 3/4 cup cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup buttermilk or heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Directions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper, making sure the paper hangs over the edges on the long sides.
- In a large bowl, coat the marzipan with powdered sugar, and then add the chocolate chips. Set aside.
- In a food processor, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. Pulse to mix, and then add the butter cubes. Pulse until the butter is the size of peas. For those who do not have a food processor, you can simply cut the butter in with your hands.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, buttermilk or cream, and the extracts. Add to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle with sugar and bake until deep golden brown on top. Check for doneness after 40 minutes. You can use an instant-read thermometer to make sure the middle is cooked.
- Let the bread cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes, then use the parchment paper to remove it from the pan. Let it cool completely before slicing and serving it with jam.
