Chocolate Chip Bread (for bread machine)

Chocolate Chip Bread is so yummy. Be prepared to eat the whole loaf in a sitting. No butter necessary. Best served right out of the machine.

1 package yeast
3 c bread flour
2 T brown sugar
2 T white sugar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
4 T soft butter*
1 egg
1 1/4 c milk*
1 c chocolate chips (6-oz package)

Place all ingredients except chocolate chips into the pan in the order listed, select white bread and push "Start". When the machine "beeps" 5 minutes from the end of the second kneading, add the chocolate chips, or if you're lazy, add the chocolate chips with all of the other ingredients.

* This recipe can easily be made dairy-free by substituting vegan butter, unsweetened coconut milk and dark chocolate (be sure to check the ingredients because some contain milk products) for the butter, milk and chocolate chips. Coconut milk gives the bread a denser, moister, more cake-like texture -- a change I like so much, I will continue to use coconut milk in place of dairy even if I do not have to continue my dairy free diet (note 2/6/11)

** If you love coconut, add unsweetened coconut when you add the chocolate chips. Delish! (note 3/8/11)
