Cover the mixture and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Add 30 ml of cooking oil (or butter) to the mixture.

In a large bowl, combine 480 g of all-purpose flour and 7 g of salt, then mix in the yeast mixture until no dry flour remains.

If dry flour remains, spray a little water to incorporate it.

Cover the dough and let it rise until doubled in size.

Scrape the dough out of the bowl onto a floured counter and gently spread it with your hands.

Add 120 g of dark chocolate chips, press them in, and stretch the dough.

Roll the dough into a log and cut it lengthwise all the way through.

Braid the dough as demonstrated in the video.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Brush the dough with milk before baking.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 30-35 minutes, placing a bowl of boiling water on the bottom of the oven for steam.

While the bread is still warm, brush it with melted butter and let it cool.
