                              (JG note....I'm personally not into olive oil...I
                  would assume that
                              this bread will be fine using vegetable oil if you
                  wish.)
                              Servings: 12
                              Prep Time: 3 hours
                              Cook Time: 30 minutes
                              - 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
                              - 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
                              - 1 package active dry yeast
                              - 3/4 cup water
                              - 1/2 cup granulated sugar
                              - 1/4 cup CARAPELLI® Light Olive Oil
                              - 1/2 teaspoon salt
                              - 2 eggs
                              - 1/2 cup chopped natural almonds, toasted
                              - 1/3 cup dried cherries
                              - 1 tablespoon finely grated orange peel
                              - Melted white chocolate, milk chocolate and dark
                  chocolate
                              In large mixing bowl, stir together 1 cup flour,
                  cocoa powder and
                              yeast; set aside. Heat water, sugar, olive oil and
                  salt until just
                              warm (120° to 130°F). Add olive oil mixture to the
                  flour mixture.
                              Add the eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low
                  to medium speed for
                              30 seconds; scraping sides of bowl. Beat mixture
                  on high speed for 3
                              minutes. Using a wooden spoon stir in the almonds,
                  cherries and
                              orange peel. Stir in as much of the remainng flour
                  as possible.
                              Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
                  Knead in enough of
                              the remaining flour to make a soft dough that is
                  smooth and elastic.
                              Shape dough into a ball and place into a lightly
                  oiled bowl. Turn to
                              grease all sides of the dough and let dough rise
                  in a warm place
                              1-1/2 hours or until double in size. Punch dough
                  down. Turn dough
                              onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into
                  thirds. Cover and
                              let rest for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, lightly brush
                  a baking sheet
                              with a small amount of CARAPELLI® light olive oil.
                              Shape each portion of dough into a 16-inch rope
                  (for a total of 3
                              ropes). Line ropes up about 1-inch apart on
                  prepared baking sheet.
                              Starting in the middle of the ropes, loosely braid
                  by bringing the
                              left rope under the center rope. Next bring the
                  right rope over the
                              new center rope. Repeat to the end. On the other
                  end, braid by
                              bringing alternate ropes over center rope from
                  center to end. Press
                              ends together to seal and tuck under. Cover and
                  let rise 1 hour or
                              until double in size. Heat oven to 375°F.
                              Bake bread 25 minutes or until bread sounds hollow
                  when tapped.
                              Remove bread from baking sheet and cool on a wire
                  rack. When cool,
                              drizzle bread with melted chocolates. Beverage
