German Chocolate Swirl Loaf is a delicious sweet bread that can be enjoyed for breakfast or dessert. The bread has a golden exterior and is filled with a swirl of sweet and salty flavors. The combination of flaky coconut, chocolate chips, and toasted pecans creates a truly decadent loaf of bread that is perfect for sharing with friends and family. Unlike traditional German chocolate cakes, this loaf is easy to make and doesn't require any frosting. It's a perfect addition to any brunch or afternoon tea.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray.
2.	On a floured surface, roll the bread dough out into a rectangle.
3.	Sprinkle the sugar over the dough, followed by the flaked coconut, chocolate chips, and chopped pecans.
4.	Starting from one of the shorter ends, carefully roll the dough up like a jelly roll.
5.	Place the roll of dough into the greased loaf pan, seam side down.
6.	Sprinkle the top of the loaf with sugar crystals and additional coconut, if desired.
7.	Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
