Beat until the dough is smooth and completely incorporated. Then, later, add the butter and orange zest. Furthermore, roll out the dough on a greased surface and add the chopped chocolate or drops.

Then shape your dough and let it rest for at least an hour. Soon after, when the dough has risen, place it in the preheated oven at 200 degrees for around 30 minutes. Finally, just serve and enjoy your homemade chocotone.
