Activate yeast in lukewarm milk with a pinch of sugar. Let it bloom for 10 minutes.

In a large bowl, combine flour, remaining sugar, salt, softened butter, eggs, and bloomed yeast mixture. Knead until a smooth, elastic dough forms.

Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

Prepare the filling: mix ground walnuts, sugar, milk, orange zest, and dark chocolate chips until combined. The chocolate chips should remain distinct.

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a large rectangle (approx. 30x40 cm).

Spread the walnut-chocolate-orange filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border.
