Sweet twist on crusty dutch oven bread


I made this while I was in Fallon at new years, here's the recipe:  Make the dough as the recipe calls.  Crusty Dutch Oven Bread  sprinkle a handful of pecans and a handfull of white chocolate chips on the dough before you fold it 3 times to rise making sure the nuts and chocolate chips are tucking inside the dough so they don't burn in the oven.  After cooling a little  cut bread and spread with salted chocolate butter.

Salted Chocolate Butter

1 cube unsalted butter (normally I ignore the unsalted part of a reciped calling for butter, but  you're       supposed to salt this yourself with course salt)
1 1/2 TBS powdered sugar
1 TBS cocoa
1/4 tsp course salt
handfull of chocolate chunks

Mix first 4 ingredients with mixer, (it's supposed to be kinda salty so taste to see if it needs more).  Mix in chocolate chunks and spread over bread

emily, you always have the best recipes. very original. i've been wanting to make this recipe (minus this new twist), but don't have a dutch oven, so i haven't. but this sounds heavenly. i'm gonna have to find something else to cook it in. any suggestions?

This was ethereal. How can you make chocolate better? Put butter with it:)

Is ethereal even the right word?

Mary has one of those enameled dutch ovens, I wish mine was enameled they are much easier to clean. So just go buy ya one, they are very versatile, you can make soups or roast or mom's stew in it and they go from stove top to oven very well. They are kind of expensive, but Mary got hers at Costco or you can look at Marshals or one of those stores to find it cheaper.
