In large mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast over the water with 1 tsp of the granulated sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes until frothy. Stir gently.
In separate mixing bowl, combine sugar, & flour. Stir to combine. Add oil, honey, & eggs to dry ingredients & stir to combine.
Pour yeast mixture into other ingredients & knead for 15 minutes by hand (or mixer if you have one) until you form a ball shape.
Spray clean mixing bowl with baking spray & place ball of dough into the bowl. Cover with a damp towel & place somewhere warm until dough has doubled in size (roughly 3 hours). Make sure to punch dough down every 45 minutes.
On floured surface, roll the dough to about 20inx12in. Spread jam evenly over the top & sprinkle evenly with chocolate chips.
Cut dough into 6 long strips & stack 3 strips on top of one another (you should have 2 stacks of 3 strips).
Cut each stack into 4 smaller stacks. Line loaf pan with parchment paper & layer the stacks inside so the filling is on it's side.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Brush top of bread with egg wash (egg & water mixed together). Bake for 20-25 minutes. Serve & enjoy!
