My brother was telling my parents and I about how in WWII, the Germans put into their chocolate and rationed out to their soldiers during WW2.

Stick with me here.

The chocolate was designed to induce/extend wakefulness, and alertness. It was originally introduced to the German competitors at the 1936 Summer Olympics, but was then given to the Nazis during the war. It has been implied that there were drugs in the chocolate, part of the reason why they were crazy. The recipe has since changed. Slightly, but enough.

Now, my whole family has read and watched Harry Potter. We are all Harry Potter fans of varying levels. After my brother got done telling us about the chocolate, my dad piped up.

Dad: Harry Potter Chocolate.

Rest of us: 🤨

Dad: eat, you'll feel better.

Death Eaters plus WW2 German chocolate? Equals Umbridge squared.

So I've been researching a way to make German Chocolate Foccacia for the past couple weeks, and I think I finally have a recipe down, so I've been experimenting!

I made 2 loaves-

#1 has 1 1/2 tbsp of coconut sugar. The yeast didn't seem like it bloomed as well as other times, but tbh it doesn't seem to have had too much of an effect, since it turned out nice and fluffy. It also had an overall better texture to the dough after it rose. The second rise was better than #2 as well. It just has coconut and pecans sprinkled on top.

#2 has 1 tbsp of coconut sugar (only 1 tsp more than my usual foccacia base), and the dough was kind of tough? Idk if I did something wrong, but the yeast reacted a bit weird (it clumped together when I bloomed it at the start-I used a smaller bowl than I did for #1). It rose fine, although it stayed a bit tough throughout the process. I folded in some coconut before the second rise, and it didn't rise very much. I didn't get as many bubbles when dimpling it either. Because I put coconut in the bread itself, I just sprinkled pecans and some regular sugar on top.

I put the same amount of cocoa in each but #2 ended up a darker color for some reason. They seem like they both baked well overall though.

Tasting-

I was pretty accurate in my predictions based on how the dough felt. #1 was way lighter and closer to my usual foccacia. #2 was pretty dense. they both tasted fine, but I still wish they had more flavor. I think the best outcome would be to combine the methods. Keep #1 basically the same, but fold in the coconut, and as well as putting the coconut and pecans on top, I think I would sprinkle it with sugar too (the sugar crust was a great decision tbh)

GERMAN CHOCOLATE MACARONS

These were made with a colleague from our department in mind, it was a big Birthday for our IT wizard who is also a lover of German Chocolate Cake. I decided to make a filling that started as a brigadeiro would, but with coconut for good measure. Some toasted pecans in the center. And a coating with chocolate. Gold luster powder to add the mandatory bling, as if you don’t sparkle on a Birthday…
