Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions for Chocolate Sauce Stuffed Toast (Bread Machine Version)

Except for butter and chocolate sauce, add all ingredients into the bread bucket, select the “Soft Bread” program, adjust the weight and color, and press the “Start” button

When the dough is slightly smooth, add softened butter and continue the program

After the dough program ends, take out the dough, gently stretch out the thin film, and knead the dough

Remove the mixing paddle, shape the dough into a round ball, place it back in the bucket, and start the fermentation process

When the dough has risen to 2.5 times its original size, dip your finger in flour, poke a hole in the middle of the dough at the top, and if it doesn’t shrink or collapse, the fermentation is complete. Press the “Pause” button on the bread machine program

Take out the dough, place it on the counter, deflate it, divide it into three equal parts, shape them into balls, cover with plastic wrap, and let them rest for 10 minutes

Take one of the small dough balls, roll it out into an oval shape, spread a layer of chocolate sauce made with light cream evenly on top, leaving the edges empty

Roll it up from the bottom, pinch the seam tightly

Repeat the process with the other two dough balls, arrange them in a radiating pattern, and pinch the tops together

Braid the three strands loosely

Fold the ends back and place it in the bread bucket

Resume the “Soft Bread” function and wait for the bread to bake automatically. If the weather is cold, observe the dough. If it has doubled in size from the original, continue with the program. If it hasn’t doubled yet, press “Pause” and resume when the dough has risen enough

The bread is ready, perfectly baked

Remove the bread from the bucket and let it cool on a rack

Slice and serve

The slices are soft and beautifully patterned

The sauce is generous and delicious
