Have liquid ingredients at 80°F unless otherwise specified in your manual; all others at room temperature.
Add ingredients in order recommended by bread machine manufacturer. Select Basic Cycle and medium/normal crust. Add chocolate chips and nuts during the last 5 -10 minutes before last kneading cycle ends. Check dough consistency after 5 minutes of kneading. The dough should be in a soft, tacky ball. If it is dry and stiff, add water, 1/2 to 1 tablespoon at a time. If it is too wet and sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time.
When cycle is complete, carefully remove bread from pan; let cool on wire rack before slicing.
