Melt the cocoa butter and mix with the olive oil, spread onto a tray and put in the fridge to set. 
Put the flour, salt, sugar and yeast in the dough mixer and gradually add the eggs, kneading for around 10 minutes until you have a stretchy dough.

Finally, add the diced candied orange peel, the orange blossom water and the fresh orange zest.
Check that the temperature does not exceed 24 °C and leave to prove until it has doubled in size.
Knock the air out of the dough and stretch out in a pan. Cover with cling film and put in the fridge overnight.
Prepare 8 cm cube-shaped moulds and grease with butter. Coat the sides with diced candied orange, flaked almonds and pearl sugar.
Cut off 140 g pieces, place in the moulds and prove for 2 to 3 hours at around 26/28 °C.
Bake at around 160/170 °C in a fan oven for approximately 30/35 minutes for this measure.
