Roll rested dough out onto a floured surface into a rectangle. Spread a thin layer of Chocnut spread all over the dough.
Roll up the dough tightly into a log, pinching the seams to seal the edges. Cut the log into three sections, leaving a portion of the dough on top uncut.
Fold the three sections of dough over each other like a braid until the end. pinch the edges of the sections together to combine them. Place in a baking dish and bake at 170°Celsius for about 20 minutes.
After baking, immediately brush the sugar syrup on top of the hot bread and leave it to cool for five minutes before serving.
