CHOCOLATE COFFEE CAKE 
1 c. 100% Bran
1 c. water
1/4 c. butter
3 1/4 c. flour
2 pkgs. Rapid Rise yeast
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 (6 oz.) pkg. walnuts or pecans, chopped
1/2 c. dairy sour cream
1/2 c. miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips
Confectioners' sugar (opt.)

In small saucepan, heat bran, water and butter until very warm, 125 to 130 degrees; butter does not need to melt. In large bowl, mix 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, 1/4 cup sugar and salt; stir in warm bran mixture. Mix in eggs and enough additional flour to make soft dough. On lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 6 to 8 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. In small bowl combine remaining ingredients. Roll dough into rectangle and spread with sour cream mixture. Roll up and pinch ends to seal. Cut in 1" slices and place in greased baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
