How to make
-
STEP 1
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease bottoms only of 3 (5 3/4x3-inch) mini loaf pans; set aside.
-
STEP 2
Combine water and baking chocolate in 1-quart saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until chocolate is melted. Remove from heat; cool to room temperature.
-
STEP 3
Combine brown sugar, 1/2 cup butter, eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla in bowl. Beat at medium speed until creamy. Add chocolate mixture and sour cream. Continue beating until well mixed. Add all remaining bread ingredients; beat at low speed until mixture is smooth.
-
STEP 4
Spoon batter evenly into prepared loaf pans. Bake 30-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes. Remove from pans. Cool completely.
-
STEP 5
Combine all glaze ingredients except milk in bowl. Beat at medium speed, adding enough milk for desired spreading consistency. Spread glaze over cooled bread.
Tip #1
- If you are using glass or dark pans, reduce oven temperature by 25°F. Check for doneness at minimum bake time.
Tip #2
- If you are using dark nonstick pans, do not use no-stick cooking spray. Grease bottom only of pans.
Tip #3
- To make 1 (9x5-inch) loaf, prepare bread as directed. Bake at 350°F. 45-50 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean.
Tip #4
- To make ahead, prepare as directed. Do not glaze bread. After cooling, wrap bread tightly in plastic food wrap. Place in resealable plastic freezer bag for up to 2 months. Thaw wrapped at room temperature. Glaze just before serving.
