Separate 1 egg and save white for the glaze. Beat yolk and whole eggs one at a time into mixture. Add 1-1/2 cups more flour.

Turn dough out onto lightly floured board or cloth. Knead 10-15 min.

until small bubbles appear in dough. Continue adding small amounts of flour as is necessary.

Turn dough into greased bowl and cover. Let rise until doubled, about 30-45 minutes.

Punch down dough and invert bowl over dough. Let rest 10 minutes.

Divide dough in half and roll out into 2 10x20" rectangles. Brush 1/2 of melted butter over each rectangle, leaving 1/2" margin around all edges. Sprinkle 1/2 of cocoa mixture over each, then sprinkle nuts 1/2 over each.

Beginning with long sides, roll jellyroll fashion and pinch to seal.

Place zig-zag to fit in 4-1/2 x 8-1/2" loaf pans. Let rise to doubled about 45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350. Beat egg white with 1 tsp water. Brush dough with glaze and sprinkle topping over dough.

Bake 30-35 minutes. Carefully remove from pans and let cool on rack.
