Activate the yeast by combining warm water, sugar, and yeast in a bowl. Cover and let it sit until bubbly.

In a mixing bowl, combine bread flour, nutmeg, unsweetened cocoa powder, and the activated yeast mixture.

Add milk to the mixture and stir with a spatula until a dough forms.

If using a hand mixer or stand mixer, mix until well combined. If not, continue mixing with the spatula.

Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead for about 30-35 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Place the kneaded dough back in the bowl, cover it, and let it rise until it doubles or triples in size.

After the dough has risen, place it back on the work surface and divide it into desired shapes and sizes.

Shape the pieces of dough as desired, ensuring they stretch well without breaking.

Cover the shaped dough and let it rise a little before baking.

Preheat the oven and bake the bread until done, which should take a few minutes.

Once baked, brush the top with margarine for shine and let it cool before serving.
