We got our very first snow day of the season here in Baltimore today! Though for "snow" it was a measly one inch of accumulation. But the roads were rather icy so I was pretty much stuck in the house all day. And you know what that means? Mya Lwin goes on a baking binge! Today I was in a very chocolately kind of mood (PMS?), and so I decided to bake not one, but TWO, chocolately treats!
The first is a yeast-raised chocolate orange bread. Chocolate and orange is one of my favorite combinations of all time. In fact, my favorite gelato when I spent three weeks last summer studying abroad in Venice was this chocolate-orange gelato from my favorite gelateria, Il Doge, which happened to be literally at the doorstep of my school. There's just something about the combination of dark chocolate and orange essence that really works.
