• Mix all the yeast mixture ingredients together and leave in a warm place for about 20 minutes until frothy.
• Meanwhile rub the butter into the 350ml flour until it resembles fine crumbs.

• Grease a 15 x 20 x 5cm baking tray.
• Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured surface to form a 1cm thick rectangle.
• Sprinkle the chocolate, sugar and cinnamon over the dough and roll into a sausage.
