Weigh the ingredients for the dough in an industrial mixer.

Mix the ingredients for 20 minutes to mimic manual kneading.

If done by hand, kneading should last at least one hour.

After kneading, let the dough rise in the mixer for the first phase of fermentation.

Divide the dough automatically to prepare for cozonac strands.

Flatten the strands automatically on the shaping table.

Prepare the filling with walnuts, raisins, sugar, and cocoa powder.

Fill the dough with the mixture and shape it into cozonaci.

Let the shaped cozonaci rise for about one hour until doubled in volume.

Prepare an egg wash for brushing the cozonaci using a special brush.

Use an automatic gun to apply the egg wash instead of brushing each cozonac manually.

Sprinkle stable sugar on top for decoration before baking.

Place the cozonaci in a special rack and into the preheated oven for about 50 minutes.

Once baked, let the cozonaci cool slowly to room temperature.
