Double Chocolate Swirl Bread
- 1/2 c. sliced almonds
- 1 c. white chocolate morsels, divided
- 2 (11 oz.) pkg. refrigerated French bread dough
- 1 Tbsp. water
- 1/4 c. semi-sweet chocolate morsels, grated
- 1 tsp. vegetable oil
- additional sliced almonds or white chocolate morsels (optional)
- Preheat oven to 375u0b0.
- Lightly spray loaf pan (I use a pan that makes 4 mini loaves) with nonstick cooking spray.
- Coarsely chop almonds and half of the white chocolate morsels; place in bowl and set aside.
- On lightly floured surface, unroll 1 package of bread dough.
- Don't stretch.
- Lightly beat egg white and water in small bowl; brush dough with a portion of the egg mixture. Grate half of the semi-sweet chocolate morsels evenly over dough. Sprinkle with half of the almond and white chocolate mixture; roll lightly with rolling pin, pressing mixture into dough.
- Unroll remaining package of bread dough directly over first dough layer, matching seams and rolling lightly to seal.
- Brush dough lightly with a portion of the egg mixture; grate remaining chocolate morsels over dough and sprinkle with remaining white chocolate and almond mixture.
- Roll lightly with rolling pin.
- Starting at narrow edge, roll dough up tightly; press edge to seal.
- Slice roll into 4 equal portions; place seam side down in pan.
- Make deep cut down the length of each loaf without cutting through ends.
- Brush loaves with remaining egg mixture.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown (center of loaves may appear moist). Cool for 5 minutes.
- Remove loaves from pan.
- Cool completely. Microwave remaining white chocolate and oil, uncovered on high for 30 to 40 seconds or until chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Do not over heat.
- Drizzle chocolate over loaves; sprinkle with sliced almonds or chocolate morsels.
