Notes
I enjoy this bread as a sweet snack or breakfast bread. It is still delicious without the chocolate ganache, but I love the added chocolate sweetness! Once the ganache is made I wait another 2-3 minutes and the sauce will thicken some before I add it to the bread. Due to heavy cream I store leftovers in the fridge.
