I had to do a double take when this popped up on my FYP! I’ve gotta make this for my mom! I love how you explain the why’s of what you’re doing! So very helpful to those of us who are new to bread baking!!❤❤
You cannot imagine how excited I am for this recipe, it looks amazing and you really make it look easy to prepare. Can’t wait to try it and taste its flavour (and shoutout to the camera for those angles, you’ve captured it’s essence❤❤)
Oh, Melanie!! This looks amazing!! Since tomorrow is Valentine's Day, I am going to make this yumminess for my Mama to take to her & another for my hubby 💕 Thank you so much for sharing & your wonderful instructions!!
This is One of those recipes that you do just for the joke and then end up eating it all 😂 this is perfect for a day outdoors, with some nuts maybe. Thanks for sharing mel
Lol "nuts''..... I thought you meant folks you were enjoying the day hiking or camping or sporting outside with ...... And you guys were "nuts" Who didn't just have sparse simple fair when you were outdoors but were the kind of high-end type who other people thought were kind of"nuts" who like Mr and Mrs Howell on Gilligan's Island or Ginger had to have such luscious high-class fair as this while you were out glamping/ camping /hiking /.... Seeing as i would also like to have something great like this recipe and I would also think it was worth it take the time to make it and take with me Out in the trees the woods the trails are wherever, I'm one of those people somebody else might think was a "nut" as well. But now I read it and it does sound like you just mean well it's cashshews pecans or something else....lol
I made it because a focaccia-brownie hybrid seemed interesting. The chocolate and EVOO combo was an odd flavor. If I make it again, I'd sub butter in for the oil (one of the tips at the bottom of the recipe).
This one is very tricky without a mixer, but if you're wanting to give it a try you'll probably have the best luck kneading it in a large mixing bowl rather than on the counter. It's super wet, but you don't want to give in to the instinct to add a ton of flour to it. -🍮Kat
You could try, with plenty of flour! This dough may be mixed well by hand mixer with the dough hooks, or by hand, mixed in a bowl with a spatula. -🥐Lily
missed by a few hours. We are leaving in two hours for a family weekend. I made a banana bread. and a cinnamon raisin loaf. Had I seen this recipe this morning I'd have one cooling now. I do have it saved for next time, though (if I can wait that long.) I'm thinking of adding some dried cranberries (soaked in the water first).
Looks great! Love this is egg and dairy free as I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the estrogen and possible BLV in dairy and choline and lead in eggs. Thank you for sharing
What a FANTASTIC video ! You explain well, you present well, i want to try this but i also want to look up what other recipes you present, so excited, thank you, thank you THANK YOU !!!🎉😊

Can't wait to try this. Think it would be great with dried cherries in addition to the chocolate chips. Would it be possible to apply the no knead method to this recipe, retard it overnight in the fridge and bake it the next day?
You could definitely add dried cherries here! You're welcome to try using the no knead technique here but it's not something we've experimented with. If you'd like to add an overnight rise to this recipe, we'd recommend following the directions up to step 4, let it rise overnight in the pan and the next day, allow it to warm a bit, drizzle with oil and top with sugar and bake! -👩🍳Morgan
You sure can, Dayo! We'd suggest letting it rise covered overnight in the pan, then warm a bit at room temperature while you pre-heat the oven. Before baking, drizzle with oil and top with sugar! -👩🍳Morgan
Just got this, I think I'll make for my church 'home group' family for our Sunday supper meeting. Can't wait for their reaction. And I'll take the suggestion of adding walnuts. Yum 😋!

Hi Mary! You're welcome to experiment with that but it's not something we've tried ourselves. If you're looking to make a keto-friendly version of this recipe we'd recommend our Keto Wheat Flour instead which was designed to be used in place of conventional wheat flour. Hope this can help!

Hi there! We don't recommend using the Gluten-Free Measure for Measure Flour to convert yeasted recipes. You could try this recipe with our Gluten-Free Bread Flour if that blend works for your dietary needs! -👩🍳Morgan

I doubled into a 9x13 pan this weekend and it was still divine 🤤🤎 For 10-15 people, tripling the recipe will comfortably feed all! Happy baking, Yolanda 😊 -🥐Lily
Hi there! You're welcome to give it a try but it's a fairly wet dough and takes a bit to knead with a machine so if you try kneading by hand it'll be important to ensure you develop the dough. You can try the "slap and fold" method for kneading this once the dough comes together in the bowl, and you might also want to add a fold half way through the first rise. Hope this can help! -👩🍳Morgan
Hi Thomas! That's not something we've tried with this recipe but you're welcome to experiment! You might also like to check out our blog article, Adding sourdough to a recipe, for tips on adding sourdough discard: www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2015/10/29/adding-sourdough-recipe Happy baking! -👩🍳Morgan
@thomassarver7638 Just my opinion: I normally calculate the amount of sourdough starter as roughly 20% of the flour weight. To not mess with the ratio's of the recipe I then substract the amount of flour and water in my starter from the flour and water in the recipe. In this specific case this would come down to 50 gr of starter (20% of the 250 gr of flour). My starter is equal parts flour and water, so this would be 25 gr of each (50 gr starter / 2). Substracting this from the recipe would change it to 225 gr flour, 231 gr water and 50 gr starter (+ the other ingredients unchanged).
The discard can be used from the first feeding. 😊 As long as it's used to bake and not eaten raw, it's plenty safe to use. Here's a link to our Discard Recipes! www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/collections/sourdough-discard-recipes -🥐Lily
Hi Shanna! We wouldn't recommend trying to replace the cocoa here, you could add orange zest and dried cranberries to the chocolate dough though!

Great question! As you can see from the video, the bowl it was mixed in still has a fair bit of residue on the sides, so you'd need to wash the bowl before putting the dough back inside in order to prevent rough, uneven bits from sticking. -🍮Kat
Since the dough contains olive oil, sugar, and cocoa, the gluten needs to be worked longer than a regular loaf recipe of only water, yeast, and salt. Melanie explains this beginning at 4:51 of the video. -🥐Lily
Hi Wendy! Our cake pans from USA Pans have a slight waviness to them so they're somewhat textured but it doesn't leave impressions on the baked goods. Hope this can help! -👩🍳Morgan
I made this today and it's pretty awesome. I had Belgian Pearl Sugar (for a waffle recipe) and so I have these larger golden nuggets of sugar on top. I added a bit of fancy flaky salt on top too. Fantastically easy to put together, is there a non-chocolate focaccia recipe on the KAF website that mirrors this process? My only gotcha moment was using a glass square pan that seemed to cook faster than 20mins and stuck to the bottom and sides, parchment might be your friend.
We're glad you enjoyed this recipe! Check out this recipe which is fairly similar: www.kingarthurbaking.com/recipes/gaels-saturday-focaccia-recipe Happy baking! -👩🍳Morgan
But also may be responsible for some of the most delicious sandwiches ever. Whipped cream and fruit compote? Whipped maple butter on a warm slice? Even a bog standard peanut butter and jelly sandwich could suddenly become heavenly. It's definitely weird, but I'm also suddenly wondering why it took so long to come up with an idea like this. Even just butter on a warmed slice must taste incredible. This is seriously genius.
Do not allow to the Italians to see this!!!! They will lose their 🤯….. As an American I apologize I’m embarrassed we do this kinda stuff… it is hilarious though 😂
The recipe said to set oven to 475 then drop to 425, I felt that was way too much, the edges ended up slightly burnt and edge had that awful burnt olive oil taste to it. Pretty sure some chocolate also got burnt. Another weird thing is every time I make focaccia I use 30 min fold technique, so fold several times, rest 30 min, repeat for 2 hrs. I did not do it for this recipe since I tried to follow to the letter. It ended up not really being "focaccia-y" besides the crispy top. I also felt there was little too much chocolate and not enough sugar, it tasted like cacao bread really, and I say it was too dark for me and Im a huge fan of rich dense dark cake. Taste wise you really need to be a chocolate lover, like a real die hard choco lover, and even then I dont think I'd eat this by itself. It doesn't have much depth beyond a deep cacao flavor. It could work as a light dessert bread but need to cut back on the chocolate. Was fun to make but as a chocolate dessert anything else is better
Thank you for your feedback! I'll pass along your note to our test kitchen team and they'll see if there is a need to reevaluate this recipe and add some adjustments. -🍰Grace
I am very grateful for the recipe, and the presentation is excellent. However, this is a note for the director: please stop with the gimmicky two-camera method. It’s incredibly distracting, and frankly tacky. If you need the second camera to show what’s happening in the work zone, fine. We don’t need to see your chef from a profile while she is addressing the camera in front. As my kids say, “you’re doing too much - you’re being extra.”
Chocolate focaccia gotta be breaking the rules.. that should be illegal, can’t turn my fav sandwich bread into dessert?! Not everything has to be dessert???
As our friend Cookie Monster often says, this is a "sometimes food." There's nothing wrong with treats in moderation, but of course you should consult with your doctor or dietitian if you have personal concerns. 💛 -🍮Kat
Hi Mary, if you are wheat-tolerant, our GF Bread Flour will be a 1:1 swap! (shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-bread-flour?_gl=1*tn1fqv*_ga*NTAyNDkyNzY3LjE3MDM2ODg3NDM.*_ga_1ZJWCQGS21*MTcwNjgxODU5MS4xMzcuMS4xNzA2ODE4NjIxLjAuMC4w ) 😊 Happy baking! -🥐Lily

As an American I apologize I’m embarrassed we do this kinda stuff… it is hilarious though 😂

The recipe said to set oven to 475 then drop to 425, I felt that was way too much, the edges ended up slightly burnt and edge had that awful burnt olive oil taste to it. Pretty sure some chocolate also got burnt. Another weird thing is every time I make focaccia I use 30 min fold technique, so fold several times, rest 30 min, repeat for 2 hrs. I did not do it for this recipe since I tried to follow to the letter. It ended up not really being "focaccia-y" besides the crispy top. I also felt there was little too much chocolate and not enough sugar, it tasted like cacao bread really, and I say it was too dark for me and Im a huge fan of rich dense dark cake.
Taste wise you really need to be a chocolate lover, like a real die hard choco lover, and even then I dont think I'd eat this by itself. It doesn't have much depth beyond a deep cacao flavor. It could work as a light dessert bread but need to cut back on the chocolate. Was fun to make but as a chocolate dessert anything else is better
Thank you for your feedback! I'll pass along your note to our test kitchen team and they'll see if there is a need to reevaluate this recipe and add some adjustments. -🍰Grace
I am very grateful for the recipe, and the presentation is excellent.
However, this is a note for the director: please stop with the gimmicky two-camera method. It’s incredibly distracting, and frankly tacky. If you need the second camera to show what’s happening in the work zone, fine. We don’t need to see your chef from a profile while she is addressing the camera in front. As my kids say, “you’re doing too much - you’re being extra.”
Chocolate focaccia gotta be breaking the rules.. that should be illegal, can’t turn my fav sandwich bread into dessert?! Not everything has to be dessert???
Haha, don't knock it 'til you've tried it! 😄 -🍮Kat
My nonna is rolling around in her grave. This is insanity.
Promoting the unhealthy
As our friend Cookie Monster often says, this is a "sometimes food." There's nothing wrong with treats in moderation, but of course you should consult with your doctor or dietitian if you have personal concerns. 💛 -🍮Kat
As if a flour company makes bread without giving bakers percentages

Focaccia al cioccolato? 😂
Better than my combination! Love it! -🥐Lily
This recipe is brilliantly fresh, new take on an old recipe. Job well done👏🏼
Omg…
You’re butchering the pronunciation of “Focaccia”. The “cc” is pronounced soft as in Shhhh, Shush 🤫
Nah bruh 👎🏽
What makes this unappealing for you, Jerico? -🥐Lily
Good caa caa 🎉🎉🎉
