3. 3Once the dough begins to come together, add the yolks, followed by the softened butter.
4. 4Knead thoroughly until you have a smooth, workable dough.
5. 5Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, cover it, and let it rise for 1h.
6. 6After the first rise, punch down the dough to release the air and fold in the chopped dark chocolate pieces.

8. 8Bake in a preheated oven at 180ºC for 15-20min.
9. 9Let it cool slightly, remove from the pan, and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
