- You might need a little flour more or less depending on the flours used.

- Pat or roll out the vanilla dough into a rectangle.
- Roll out the mocha layer and place over the vanilla. (You can sprinkle a layer of chocolate chips on the vanilla layer before topping with the mocha layer)
- Roll up the layers like a tight jelly roll.
- Seal the edges and place seam side down in a parchment lined bread pan.
- Spray water on top. Top liberally with oats.
- Cover with a towel and let rise until doubled(40-50 minutes)
