It calls for 2 small eggs. All I have are large eggs. Do I use one whole large egg and one additional yolk? Or one large egg and one additional egg white? Any one know?
I would go for 1 large egg plus another yolk if you can afford it, but you could use either one or two whole large eggs and adjust any other liquids a fraction - it doesn't make that much difference in yeast cookery.
Bet it will taste just great - I love cocoa bread!
I did a little more digging after I made this post and found this below. Once I saw the actual difference I decided that I wasn't going to stress about it too much.
"For most recipes, it really makes no difference if you're using a small egg or a large egg, so i wouldn't stress a whole lot about it.
But, for the record...eggs are meassured by their weight in dozens.
So a carton of 12 large eggs should weight 24 oz. That's 2 oz an egg, on average. Small eggs should weight about 1.5 oz.
This doesnt necessarely mean that 4 small egs (6oz) are the same as 3 large eggs, because again their are weighted in cartons and their individual weight are just estimates.
30 oz per dozen eggs = jumbo 27 oz per dozen eggs = extra large 24 oz per dozen eggs = large 21 oz per dozen eggs = medium 18 oz per dozen eggs = small 15 oz per dozen eggs = pee wee "

Eggs
Each large egg is 1/4 c approx, so I'd use that as a guideline.

Common here is a box of ten,
and in many countries, eggs are sold by the kilo. Is there any land other than the USA that sells eggs by the dozen? Waiting to here from you....
To divide an egg is easy, scramble it first unless you have to separate the yolk from the white.
