4. I used my hands here, and kneaded it until everything was completely mixed in.

6. Sprinkle chopped chocolate over dough, and keep kneading until they're evenly distributed.
7. Press dough mixture into a silicon pullman loaf pan or a regular pullman loaf pan that has been lined with parchment/wax paper and chill for 10-20 minutes.
