My 5-year-old Hitachi finally died, and I replaced it with a Regal.
The Regal makes great, crusty loaves except for one problem: when I
make my famous chocolate chip bread, the chips completely melt, and I
have chocolate bread, with no visible chips. I've always been
successful with just dumping all the ingredients in at once and using
the timer. Is there any way around this problem other than to use the
"beep-beep" in the knead cycle to add the chips????? We cherish hot
chocolate chip bread in the morning. . .
