Panpepato o Pampapato dolce natalizio

Preheat the oven to 170°C (static).

In a bowl, mix together the chopped nuts, candied orange, finely chopped dark chocolate, honey, and water.

Add the flour, cinnamon, pepper, nutmeg, and rum (if using) to the mixture and combine until a dough forms.

Shape the dough into a round or log shape as preferred.

Place the shaped dough on a baking tray and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, depending on the oven.

After baking, let it cool in the tray for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, wrap it in a cloth and allow to rest for 24 hours before serving.
