Danish Chocolate Streusel-Swirled Coffee Cake
I am in love with yeast baking since I discovered the artisan bread in 5 minutes a day book/website . I have, magically, had no disasters since I started on their recipes. The challenge to make an Apple - Walnut Torte did not interest me at all , Jasline changed my mind with her elegant mini-muffin torte , despite this being prime apple season here, I leaped at the chance to bake the latest THB Challenge, Lou Seibert Pappas's Danish Chocolate Swirled Coffee Cake I made half the recipe, enough for just 1 loaf. But, I made enough streusel for 2 loaves, and found that I needed this amount for just 1 loaf! Typically, I changed the recipe quite a bit, making it lighter and healthier. I suppose making twice the required filling negates all the effort :( I substitute whole wheat for part of the all-purpose flour, never replace it completely. I am not clear on whether yeast can rise in pure whole wheat. Indian wheat tends to be soft, it might just work...
