Dissolve the yeast in 40 ml of warm water and add 80 g of flour. Form a ball and let it rise for 5/6 hours in a covered bowl and in a warm environment.

After the indicated time, take 90 g of the first dough (the rest is no longer needed) and dissolve it in 170 ml of warm water, add 260 g of flour, 2 egg yolks, 70 g of sugar and 70 g of soft butter. Work well and leave to rise for at least 7/8 hours or in any case until doubled.

Resume the dough and add 160 g of flour, 3 g of salt, 20 g of sugar, 2 egg yolks, 20 g of butter and grated orange peel. Work well and add at this point either the raisins or the chocolate or whatever you like best. Let it sit for at least an hour.

Knead the dough again for at least 10 minutes, place it in the mold and let it rise in the off oven until it reaches the edge, it will take about 4/5 hours.

Once risen, remove from the oven, wait half an hour, which you can use to heat the oven. Bake at 180 degrees and cook for about half an hour.
