Why measure in grams?
If you ask any bakery how they measure, most will say they measure in grams. Measuring by weight is more reliable for desserts because some recipes don’t specify if you should pack your ingredients and do not take into account how different people measure their ingredients.
A common mistake people make in measuring ingredients is when measuring brown sugar. Brown sugar is clumpier than normal sugar because it is mixed with molasses. 100 grams of white sugar is equivalent to 100 grams of packed brown sugar—though most people don’t pack their brown sugar the same way, so you will most likely not get the same measurement unless using a scale.
Food scales are such an amazing and cheap investment to make for your kitchen because they will allow you to copy recipes perfectly because they are far more reliable and allow you to not use as many dishes! Click here to order a food scale!

Purchasing a bread maker may seem like an unnecessary purchase, but for those that love to have fresh bread, this is perfect! You simply just add the ingredients to the bread maker, walk away for 2-3 hours, and come back to a fresh load of bread—no kneading or dirtying several dishes!
This bread maker is also perfect for those wanting to regulate what ingredients go in your bread—especially realizing how many unnecessary ingredients are in our storebought bread! This bread maker allows you to make fresh loaves while you work or go out—it shuts off once it is finished baking and leaves time for its cooling.
Instructions:
Step 1
Mix together your chocolate milk, flour, yeast, cocoa powder, salt, sugar, and butter in a stand mixer or add to your bread maker.
Step 2
Mix until combined and then let it rest for an hour.
Step 3
Kneed your dough for 5-8 minutes and then let it rest again for 45 minutes.
Step 4
Once rested, add to a greased bread pan and bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes.
Step 5
While dough is baking, brown your butter by swirling it around on a pan at medium heat for 8-10 minutes until it turns a golden-brown color.
Step 6
Fill a big bowl with ice water and place a smaller bowl in the ice water. Pour browned butter into smaller bowl and mix in brown sugar and pumpkin spice with a whisk.
Whisk butter for 8-10 minutes while it cools (it should whip up into a nice fluffy consistency).
Step 7
Once bread is done, let it cool for 15-20 minutes.
Step 8
Slice chocolate bread and enjoy it fresh with your pumpkin spice butter! (This can be stored in an airtight container/bag at room temperature, or in the fridge to last longer.)
