Buttery and rich bricohe bread filled with chocolate filling.
Add the flour, yeast, sugar, salt, eggs, and water to a bowl of a stand mixer. Mix using the paddle attachment until a shaggy mass is formed.
Replace with the dough hook and mix for 3 minutes on medium speed.
Add the butter one piece at a time, waiting about 15 seconds between each addition.
Mix for 10-15 minutes until the bowl is clean, the dough is smooth, and does not tear easily when gently stretched.
Spray the dough with oil, cover it with plastic wrap, and let sit for 2-3 hours, until it doubles in size. Alternatively, you can also refrigerate overnight
Place the butter, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder in a large bowl and mix until smooth.
Grease two 8 or 9 -inch pans and line them with parchment paper. You can also use a 9-inch tube pan with a removable tray.
Punch the dough to release air and divide it into two equal parts.
Roll the first part over a floured working surface to a 12-inch length rectangle, with the width double the size of your pan (12x16 if your pan is 8-inch)
Spread the filling leaving an empty one-inch band at the center and 1.5-inch from the bottom of the rectangle.
Roll the dough from the top end, then move the ends of the log towards each other, in a U shape.
Gently coil the two "legs" around each other, lift, and place in your pan. Place in a warm spot and let rest for 2-3 hours.
Bake for 35-40 minutes at 350F (180C) until the inner temperature is 190-200F.
Remove from the oven, let cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then invert over to a wire rack.
