Club Med Sandpiper's White Chocolate Bread

This recipe appeared in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, December 2006. I have yet to try this but am dying to!

• Ready In: 55 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 4 loaves

Ingredients

• 4 1⁄3 cups flour
• 1  teaspoon  yeast
• 1  teaspoon sugar
• 2  teaspoons salt
• 2 1⁄2 cups water
• 2 1⁄3 cups white chocolate chips

Directions

1. Place the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in a small bowl, and mix with an electric mixer.
2. Mix on medium-low speed for 1 minute. Add water, and mix another 12 minutes on medium or second speed. Add the chips and mix for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the chips are well distributed throughout the dough.
3. Take dough out of the bowl and lightly knead into a ball. Let rest for 15-20 minutes.
4. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
5. Cut the dough into 4 portions and knead into the desired form. (Note: These looked like French bread loaves when we saw them on the rack, ready to bake.).
6. Place the loaves on a baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake for approximately 20 minutes or until nicely browned.
