5 minutes before the end of the second kneading program, add chocolate chips and dried cranberries, and complete the kneading program.

Let the dough ferment until it doubles in size.

Take out the fermented dough, deflate it, shape it into a round shape, and place it in a 6-inch pizza pan.

Place a bowl of hot water in the oven, start the oven fermentation function, and let the dough proof for 40 minutes.

Sprinkle some bread flour on the surface of the proofed dough, and use a knife to create patterns.
