1

Soften the unsalted butter at room temperature.

2

Add sugar and honey, and mix until slightly lightened in color.

3

Add the room temperature eggs and mix well.

4

Sift in the flour and baking powder, then mix roughly with a spatula before kneading with hands to create a crumble. Store in the refrigerator until use.

5

In a mixing bowl, combine bread flour, sugar, salt, dried yeast, eggs, and warm milk. Mix until no flour is visible and it forms a dough.

6

Add the room temperature unsalted butter and mix quickly for 10 minutes until the butter is well incorporated and the dough is smooth.

7

Shape the finished dough into a ball and place it in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a cloth and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour.

8

Once risen, divide the dough into two equal parts, shape them into balls, cover with plastic, and let them rest for 15 minutes.

9

During the resting time, remove moisture from the diced chestnuts using a kitchen towel.

10

After resting, transfer one dough piece to a work surface, press to release gas, and roll out to approximately 13x28cm.

11

Evenly distribute 100g of diced chestnuts over the rolled-out dough, then roll it up from the edge and seal the ends well.

12

Place the shaped dough into the pan, cover with plastic or a cloth, and let it rise until it reaches 1cm below the top of the pan.

13

Once risen, divide the crumble in half and generously sprinkle it on top of the dough.

14

Preheat the oven/convection to 170 degrees Celsius, then bake at 160 degrees for 20-25 minutes (check the color of the bread as oven specifications may vary).

15

Once baked, remove the bread from the pan and let it cool before enjoying.
