Choc Marble Bread

It's was on my wanted list to do,and finally I did it, not very nice in  appearance  but taste great, and I have difficulty in rolling and the chocolate paste keeps oozing out, I just go ahead and braid and decide  not continue to fold and roll again ,inorder not to get too messy.

I did not have a proper size baking tin, need to buy and I will try again.. Next time, I must get a perfect bake, if not perfect, almost perfect also can....:)

I did extra half portion of bread dough for some leftover red bean paste and this dough goes very well with the paste.
