Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (480g) all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) warm milk
  • 1/2 cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (100g) brown sugar, packed
  • 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (60g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup (170g) chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh berries (raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries), chopped if necessary
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, sugar, and yeast; let it activate for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour and salt.
  3. Mix melted butter and eggs into the yeast mixture.
  4. Gradually add dry ingredients to wet, kneading until a soft dough forms.
  5. Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
  6. For the cinnamon filling, mix brown sugar and cinnamon in a bowl.
  7. For the chocolate filling, heat cream until warm, pour over chocolate, and stir until smooth.
  8. For the fruit filling, toss berries with sugar.
  9. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface into a rectangle.
  10. Divide the dough into three equal sections.
  11. Spread each section with the corresponding filling (cinnamon, chocolate, fruit), and then roll each section tightly.
  12. Cut the rolled sections into smaller pieces and arrange them in a greased baking dish to form a quilt block pattern.
  13. Cover the assembled bread and let it rise for 30 minutes.
  14. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.
  15. Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before serving, then slice into pieces.
