This deeply indulgent loaf with juicy prunes and melted chocolate is delicious served warm and cut into thick slices. It is a sweet treat to be enjoyed with a cup of coffee for a gourmet breakfast, celebration brunch or afternoon tea. The dough can also be made into individual rolls, weighing 55g each (bake for 20 minutes) at the same temperature. As an added bonus, it freezes beautifully!<\/p>\n
