      3/4      teaspoon  cocoa powder

      3/4      teaspoon  ground ginger
      3/4      teaspoon  ground cinnamon
   1              pinch  nutmeg -- freshly grated
                         To finish:
   1                     egg -- lightly beaten
   1         tablespoon  cacao nibs

Chocolate and orange work so well together and this sweet bread is no 
exception. For this recipe you will need a stand mixer with a dough 
hook, a food thermometer and a 30x20x6cm / 12x8x2 1/2" baking tray. 
The recipe is from the tv show 'The Great British Bake Off' (season 
7, episode 3) broadcast in the US as 'The Great British Baking Show' 
(season 4, episode 3).

For the dough, in the bowl of a freestanding mixer cream the butter, 
sugar, orange zest, cardamom and salt until pale and fluffy.

Mix the milk and yoghurt together, then warm until it reaches body 
temperature or 37C if using a food thermometer. In a separate bowl, 
mix the flour with the yeast. Slowly mix the milk mixture into the 
butter mixture. If it curdles, add a little of the flour mixture, 
then go back to adding the milk.

Change the attachment on the mixer to a dough hook, then tip the 
flour on top of the wet ingredients and knead on a low speed until 
combined. Increase the speed to medium and knead for 10 minutes.

Transfer the dough to a large greased bowl and cover with cling film. 
Leave to prove in a warm place for 45 minutes.

For the filling, in a food processor combine the chocolate, both 
kinds of almonds, cocoa powder, chilli and spices. Pulse until it 
forms the consistency of breadcrumbs.

Grease a 30x20x6cm / 12x8x2 1/2in baking tray and line with greased 
baking parchment.

Flour the work surface and tip the dough out onto it. Cut away a 
third of the dough and set aside. Stretch the remaining dough into a 
rectangle approximately 40x20cm / 16x8in.

Cover the dough with two-thirds of the filling mixture, leaving a 1cm 
/ 1/2in gap at the long edge closest to you. Tightly roll up the 
dough starting with the long edge which is farthest away from you. 
Use the 1cm / 1/2in strip (that is not covered with filling) to seal 
the join. Cut the roll into twelve 3cm / 1 1/4in-thick slices and 
place on the prepared tray.

Stretch out the remaining dough into a 10x30cm / 4x12in rectangle. 
Cover with the remaining filling, leaving a 1cm / 1/2in gap at the 
long edge closest to you. Cut into six 4cm / 1 1/2in thick slices and 
use them to fill the gaps between the larger rolls. Place in a warm 
place to prove for a further 20 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F (160C/320F convection).

To finish, brush the top of the buns with beaten egg and sprinkle 
with cocoa nibs. Bake in the middle of the oven for 30-40 minutes.

Remove from the baking tray and set aside to cool on a wire rack.
