Tiger Milk Bread

Two doughs, one stunning loaf. [logo]( Bake of the Week Tiger Milk Bread [hero]( Jessica Battilana Staff Editor No loaf of bread disappears from my kitchen faster than [Tiger Milk Bread](. Having spent the last two years coauthoring our just-released [Big Book of Bread](, I've baked a lot of loaves. And while I know I probably shouldn't pick favorites, this recipe, just one of the 125+ recipes in the book, has emerged as an early favorite. Developed by my talented coauthor Melanie Wanders, the bread's fancy appearance belies its ease: You make one soft, tender, butter-enriched milk bread dough, flavor and color a portion of it with [black cocoa](, then stack and twist the two together ([here's a video that shows the whole process]() to create a hypnotizing pattern that looks, yes, like the stripes on a tiger (and did I mention it has chocolate chips folded in, too?). If you bake the bread in a [Pullman pan](, you'll have perfectly square slices, which is immensely pleasing; a loaf pan will give you bread with a more organic appearance. This is not a practical bread; it's not intended for a hearty sandwich or as an accompaniment to soup. It's a folly, a bread intended to bring joy, a bread to toast, slick with butter and eat, slice by slice, until all that's left is crumbs. To bread!
