Chocolate Bread Recipe from 1935

I have only made this twice but each time it was great....I love it HOT with cininimon sugar butter on it

Dissolve yeast in warm milk; let stand 5 minutes. Sift together 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, cocoa, and salt; set aside. Combine dissolved yeast, egg, shortening, pecans, and vanilla; mix well. Gradually add flour mixture to make a soft dough . Turn dough out onto a surface sprinkled with remaining 1/2 cup flour; kneadÿ10 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in a well-greased bowl, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85 degrees), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk. Punch dough down; turn out onto a floured surface, and shape into a loaf. Place in a greased 7-1/2 x 3 x 2-inch loaf-pan. Brush top with oil; cover and repeat rising procedure 1 hour. Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes or until loaf sounds hollow when tapped. Remove bread from pan immediately; cool on wire rack.

I've been looking for a good, old fashioned chocolate bread recipe for years. I tried one once that came out simply horrible, this sounds much better and easier to follow! Thank you! I'll be trying this over the weekend.

This sounds wonderful - I love the old recipes! Do you know how much yeast is in a package (I buy it by the jar)?
