Chocolate malt as in malted grain? You do know the name refers to the color, and not the taste... In fact, Chocolate malt is what gives Stout (beer) its distinctive color and part of it signature bitterness.
I don't think it would make a good bread at all.
yes, I have some from beer making. That's why I ask.
I use it when making grain bread. Soaked overnight in boiling water with the rest of the grains. It adds a very earthy taste to the bread ;-)
how much do you use for how much?
It's been a while since I've baked. The sale of my house was delayed and I still haven't unpacked all my gear so I'll have to find the formula I was using. But if I recall correctly the total grain was about 20-30% of the flour weight and the chocolate malted grain was about 15-20% of the total grain.
I'll add the formula when I find it...
Have you considered steeping the choc. malt and using the result as the water in your bread? Add 170F water at 1 qt per lb of grain, wait 30 min, strain. Or use a grain bag.
If you add it direct you'd be eating barley husks. That doesn't sound appealing to me, but ymmv.
