Ingredients:
3 cups Bread Flour

2 Tbsp. Cocoa powder

Combine yeast, 1 cup bread flour, cocoa powder, sugar and salt; mix well. Heat water and oil to 120º to 130ºF; add to flour mixture. Blend at low speed; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, gradually stir in chocolate chips and enough of the remaining bread flour to make a firm dough. Knead on floured surface 5 to 7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place dough in lightly oiled bowl; turn to grease top. Cover; let rise until dough tests ripe.
Shaping, Rising and Baking
On lightly floured surface, roll or pat dough to a 14- x 7-inch rectangle. Starting with shorter side, roll up tightly, pressing dough into roll with each turn. Pinch edges and ends to seal. Place in greased 8- x 4-inch bread pan. Cover; let rise until indentation remains when lightly touched. Bake in a 375ºF preheated oven; bake 30 to 35 minutes until browned and loaves sound hollow when tapped. Bread is thoroughly baked when its internal temperature tests 190ºF. Remove from pan; cool on rack.
