Bake unique star bread full of chocolate flavor

It was a really nice change to bake this bread after all those traditional Christmas cakes I have
been preparing with my mom for last few days. Since this is a yeast dough, having a chance to
make it right, was an additional satisfaction.

I can not even count the number of trials that we did to make it easier for you to follow, and the
star shape to be perfect. In the end, it came out not only effective, but also very easy and not so
sweet as it looks like. There were so many pieces to share, and all testers confirm they liked it.
To be honest enough is enough, no more star bread until at least next year! ;)
