Ingredients

1/4 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F.)

1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast or 2 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast

1 cup evaporated milk

2 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons butter, melted, divided use

1 1/4 teaspoons salt

3 cups bread flour

1/4 cup milk chocolate morsels (optional)

1/4 cup dried sweetened cranberries or cherries, coarsely chopped

4 bars (8-ounces total) baking chocolate, broken into pieces

Directions

Combine water, yeast in large mixer bowl.

Let stand for 5 minutes or until mixture looks creamy.

Add evaporated milk, honey, 1 tablespoon butter and salt.

With mixer on medium speed, gradually add 2 cups flour, a half cup at a time, scraping bowl often.

Using wooden spoon, stir in morsels and cranberries.

Stir in up to 1 cup of the remaining flour.

Dough should stick to the spoon and clean itself from side of bowl.

Turn dough out onto slightly floured surface.

Knead in additional flour to make a slightly stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes).

Place in greased bowl; turn to grease surface.

Cover; let rise in warm place for about 1 hour or until double in size.

Punch dough down.

Divide dough into 8 pieces.

Flatten each piece into 6 x 4-inch rectangle.

Place one square chocolate in center and roll up.

Fold ends under.

Place on greased baking sheet(s).

Cover; let rise in warm place for 15 minutes or until double in size.

Preheat oven to 375° F.

Brush rolls with remaining butter.

Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown and sound hollow when tapped.

Remove to wire rack to cool completely.

Makes 8 panini.

Note: You can also add walnuts, pecans, or almonds to this bread for added goodness and crunch :+D
