Now mix all the dry components in a mixing bowl and add eggs and milk.once all the ingredients are combined and the dough doesn’t stick to the bowl slowly add the butter ( soft). Mix the dough until the butter is combined. Now get your dried fruit and chocolate and add it to the dough.

Do this process in max 1-2 minutes so that the chocolate doesn’t melt.

Rest te dough for Half an hour covered with cling wrap.

Cut the dough into 4 pieces of roughly 400 gr. Roll it into small logs making sure that the open ring of the loaf is on the bottom, if you are using sourdough make the brioche prove until it doubles in size.

Once it is ready brush it with an egg wash, wish will be made with 1 egg and 50 g of milk.

Enjoy your bread toasted.
