Default engine break in after rebuild

Can anyone advise a good break in routine after a rebuild? Steel rods have been fitted and also replaced big end shells and piston rings. Engine is a vw 1.8t but I expect break in cycles would be the same as any engine. I have used assembly lube through out the build. Should the rpm be raised on initial start up? How soon should oil be changed and how should I drive it? Cheers
