Add the butter and rub it in with your fingers until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in chocolate and orange peel. Whisk buttermilk and egg in medium bowl; add to the dry ingredients, stirring just until incorporated.Turn dough out onto floured work surface and knead gently only until the dough comes together, about 5 turns. Form dough into a 6 1/2 inch round, about 2 1/2 inches high. Move it over to your prepared bake sheet, and with a sharp knife, cut 1 inch deep slits in top of bread, forming a sunburst pattern. Bake bread until golden and very firm when pressed and tester comes out clean, turning bread halfway though baking time, about 1 hour. Transfer bread to rack so it can cool, then slice some off for you and your loved ones. Make 1 large loaf.Serving Size: 8 trianglesNumber of Servings: 8Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user QUEENHESTER.
