Yeast dough

Cover and leave to rise at room temperature for approx. 2 hr. until doubled in size.

Filling

Simmer the rhubarb, berries and sugar in a pan for approx. 10 mins., allow to cool. Stir in the coconut flakes and hazelnuts.

Plaiting

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a rectangle approx. 30 x 40 cm, place on a sheet of baking paper. Along the shorter two edges, cut strips approx. 10 cm long and 1 cm thick. Spread butter, nuts and chocolate onto the surface which has not been sliced. Place the rhubarb and berry filling on top. Fold the cut strips over one another from the right and left sides. Brush with a little egg, scatter over the sugar.
