Let's say your function file is additional_functions.php, put it inside some folder like app/my_functions.

Then you need to add that file to autoload, you'll have to open composer.json and add such code:

"autoload": {
    ...
        "files": [
                   "app/my_functions/additional_functions.php"
       ]
    ...
}

After you're done, you only need to run composer dump-autoload to reload the autoload file.
