Hi Kevin, your chocolate bread sounds delicious! One of the most common reasons why bread turns out crumbly is because too much flour is added to the dough. To ensure you're using the right amount, we recommend either measuring your flour by weight using a scale, or measuring your flour like this. The fluff and sprinkle method will help you measure light cups of flour that weigh about 4 1/4 ounces per cup, and your bread should be less crumbly as a result. Also, be sure you're using a flour with a high-protein content (like King Arthur all-purpose flour), as other brands tend not to have enough strength for the bread to hold up well during slicing. Good luck! Kye@KAF
