🛒 Ingredients
🍞 Brioche dough
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup sugar

👨🍳 Instructions
1. Activate yeast

2. Make the dough
- In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt.
- Add yeast mixture, eggs, and vanilla.
- Mix until a soft dough forms.
- Knead in softened butter gradually until smooth and elastic (8–10 minutes).
3. First rise
- Place dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise 1–2 hours until doubled.
4. Shape & fill
- Roll dough into a rectangle.
- Spread Nutella evenly over the surface.

6. Bake
- Preheat oven to 175°C (350°F)
- Brush with egg wash
- Bake 30–35 minutes until golden brown

🍽️ Serving Ideas
- Serve warm for melty chocolate goodness
- Dust with powdered sugar
- Toast slices and add butter

🔥 Tips
- Dough should be soft but not sticky—add flour gradually if needed
- Chill dough slightly if it’s too soft to shape
- Don’t overfill or the swirl may leak out
🍫 Why it’s irresistible
The buttery richness of brioche + hazelnut chocolate from Nutella + melty chocolate chips = bakery-level indulgence at home.
If you want, I can also give you a Nutella brioche rolls version, a no-knead shortcut, or a braided babka-style variation.
