Double Chocolate Swirl Bread


1/2 cup sliced almonds, chopped
1 cup white chocolate morsels, divided
2 package (11 ounces each) refrigerated French bread dough
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels, grated
1 teaspoon vegetable oil

Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly spray Mini Loaf Pan with vegetable oil using nonstick cooking spray. Coarsely chop almonds and half of the white chocolate morsels; place in Classic Batter Bowl. On lightly floured surface, unroll one package of bread dough; do not stretch. Lightly beat egg white and water in Small Batter 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 Baker's Roller™, 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 portion of egg mixture; grate remaining chocolate morsels over dough and sprinkle with remaining white chocolate and almond mixture. Roll lightly with baker's roller. 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 25-30 minutes or until golden brown (center of loaves may appear moist). Remove pan to Stackable Cooling Rack; cool 5 minutes. Remove loaves from pan. Cool completely. Microwave remaining white chocolate and oil, uncovered, on HIGH 30-40 seconds or until chocolate is melted and smooth. (Do not overheat.) Drizzle chocolate over loaves; sprinkle with sliced almonds or chocolate morsels, if desired.Yield: 4 mini loaves (4 servings per loaf)
