Chocolate Sour-Cherry Bread a'la LaBrea

Yeah, isn't that sad? It was my favorite bread. I email them every year, begging them to sell it nationally again, but no dice. I tried to make something similar, and did the following recipe - It was delicious, but next time I'll cut the chocolate in bigger chunks, since they basically melted into the bread. Also, I think I'll add a touch more brown sugar (Of course, nothing can compare to the La Brea one):

(By the way, Nancy Silverton has the La Brea recipe printed in the following book):

Scroll down the page for an adapted recipe for La Brea's bread:

There's nothing better than a good friend, except a good friend with CHOCOLATE.

Thanks for the suggestions. My computer with the recipes is waiting for parts. I think I tried the first link last year. It took forever to rise, 18 hrs @ 90F, and then forever to bake, 90min @ 375F to get to 195F. Great when done though.
