   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
      1/2           cup  warm water -- about 110F
   2 1/2      teaspoons  active dry yeast -- (1 envelope)
   2 3/4           cups  unbleached all-purpose flour -- (remember to 
reserve some, adding it only if you need)
      1/4           cup  unsweetened cocoa -- about 1 oz
   3        tablespoons  sugar
   1           teaspoon  salt
   1           teaspoon  finely grated orange zest
      1/2      teaspoon  ground cinnamon
   2        tablespoons  unsalted butter
      1/4           cup  milk
   1                     egg

Though this sounds more like cake than bread, it is not too sweet and 
make a perfect breakfast or brunch bread.

One 8 1/2 x 4 1/2 x 2 3/4" loaf pan, buttered

Place warm water in a small bowl and whisk in yeast

To mix dough by hand, combine flour, cocoa, sugar, salt, orange zest 
and cinnamon in a mixing bowl and stir well to mix. Rub in butter 
until no piece of butter remain visible. Add milk, egg and yeast 
mixture and stir to form a rough dough. Transfer dough to lightly 
floured work surface (you may need the help of a scraper) and knead 
until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.

Place dough in a buttered bowl and turn to coast all sides. Cover 
bowl with plastic wrap and allow dough to rise until doubled in bulk, 
about 1 hour.

Turn risen dough from bowl out onto a floured work surface. Press 
down with palms of hands to deflate. To form loaf, stretch dough into 
a rough rectangle, then fold in short ends until dough is 
approximately the length of the pan. Then fold far long edge down to 
the middle. Fold over the remaining long edge and compress to form a 
tight cylinder. Place the loaf in the pan, seam side down. Cover the 
pan with plastic wrap (deb note: you'll want to quickly spray or oil 
the top of it so it doesn't stick to the plastic when it rises) and 
allow dough to rise until doubled, about 1 hour.

When the loaf is rising, preheat oven to 375F and set a rack at the 
middle level.

When the loaf is completely risen, place in oven and immediately 
lower temperature to 350F. Bake about 30 to 40 minutes, until well 
risen and firm to the tough. The internal temperature of the bread 
will be about 210F when it's done. (deb note: might be as low as 
190F, as this has an egg and butter in it). Unmold the loaf to a rack to cool.
