Bishop's Bread | Biskupski Kruh

For those special days when a 'normal' plain bread just won't cut it, Bishop's Bread is the bread to bake. Roasted almonds, sultanas, chocolate buttons, all with the aroma of orange zest put the 'special' in this loaf bread/cake. It's no wonder men in Croatia chose to become bishops! It's kind of like a cross between a fruit bread and a chocolate panettone and it’s perfect for when you want to bake something sweet after a weeknight meal or as a morning breakfast bread served with a cup of tea or coffee.

In the original recipe, you would use a cooking chocolate block, broken into pieces, but I used chocolate buttons instead which makes the recipe even easier and your chocolate pieces are consistently sized. Also, to make it even easier (is that possible?) use almond slivers so you don't even need to chop.

For a different serving suggestion, cut the bread into slices and lightly toast, then add lashings of butter. Ha! It's a taste sensation and better than any store-bought fruit, chocolate bread. Enjoy!
