White Chocolate Bread Recipe
Club Med's most famous bread. We don't want to break your diet, but indulgence in small portions in will keep you from binges.
8 cups flour
1 teaspoon yeast
1 tablespoon wheat gluten
2 teaspoons salt
3 1/2 cups water
2 3/4 cups white chocolate chips
1. Place flour, yeast and gluten in a small bowl. Mix on medium-low or first speed for 1 minute. Add water and mix for another 2 minutes. Add salt and continue to mix for another 8-10 minutes on medium or second speed.
2. Add chips and mix for 1-2 minutes or until the chips are well distributed throughout the dough.
3. Take dough out of bowl and lightly knead into a ball. Let rest for 15-20 minutes
Preheat the oven to 450˚F.
4. Divide dough into 5 equal portions and knead into the desired form. Let the loaves proof for about 30-45 minutes, depending on the heat and humidity of the area.
5. Place uncooked loaves on a baking pan lined with parchment paper and bake for approximately 20 minutes.
6. Remove from oven and let stand for 15 minutes.
Enjoy—and try to save some for the next day. White chocolate bread makes great toast!

Darryl says We were just at Columbus Isle (July 18-27). My wife took the class on how to make this bread twice. Posted August 8, 2009, 4:32 pm
Club Med Insider says Cool--has she made it at home yet? I'd be curious to know how it turns out in a home kitchen. Posted August 12, 2009, 1:07 pm
Liana Clark says I've never made a yeast bread that didn't include a yeast activation stage (yeast mixed with warm water +/- sugar). Does it really work out fine without doing that? Posted September 12, 2009, 10:46 pm
