1

Melt dark chocolate and add melted butter, mixing well.

2

Add icing sugar and ground cinnamon to the mixture, then let it cool to form a filling cream.

3

In a bowl, combine 00 flour, Manitoba flour, granulated sugar, and dehydrated brewer's yeast.

4

In another bowl, mix milk, 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, vanilla extract, and honey, heating in the microwave for 20 seconds if needed.

5

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients in a planetary mixer, mixing until blended.

6

Add butter in small flakes and a pinch of salt to the dough, mixing until elastic.

7

Butter the work surface and place the dough on it, forming a ball and placing it in a buttered bowl covered with cling film to rise for 2 hours.

8

Once risen, turn the dough onto a floured work surface and shape it into a rectangle of 30 x 40 cm.

9

Spread the cooled cream on the dough, leaving a couple of empty fingers at the top edge.

10

Sprinkle chopped dried fruit over the cream.

11

Brush the edges with egg yolk or egg white as glue, then roll the dough from the longest edge.

12

Cut the roll lengthwise and twist the two halves together, keeping the cut side up.

13

Place the twisted dough in a baking tray lined with baking paper, forming a donut shape with an aluminum baking cup in the center.

14

Let the dough rise for 40 minutes, then refrigerate for 15 minutes.

15

Bake in a static oven at 170°C for 40 minutes, covering with foil if it darkens too much.

16

Dust with icing sugar before serving.
