Instructions
- Start by preparing the yeast mixture. In a mixing bowl or the bowl from the stand mixer, combine 1 tsp granulated sugar, 3 ¼ tsp (10 g) active dry yeast, and slightly over ½ cup (130 ml) warm milk. Let the mixture rest for 10-15 minutes. It should become foamy.

Knead in the stand mixer for 15 minutes, using the dough hook attachment at medium-low speed. After 15 minutes, add 3 ½ tbsp (50 g) unsalted room temperature butter and knead for 10 more minutes.
- Let the dough proof for 1 hour and 30 minutes in a warm environment, 81°F 27°C.
- The dough should double in size. Add ¾ cup (125 g) of chocolate chips into the dough. Knead only until just incorporated.
- Separate the dough into 8 equal parts. Shape each one into a ball to make sure we have a smooth surface to work with. Add about 1 ½ tbsp of Nutella inside of each one, grab the sides and put them in the middle, leaving about 1-2 fingers space, then starting from the bottom (side that is closest to you, start rolling it. Press the end of the dough so the Nutella doesn’t escape.
- Place all of the brioche into a pan with parchment paper. proof again for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 355°F (180 °C). Beat 1 egg and mix it with 1 tbsp of milk. Brush all of the brioche with this mixture and bake for 20-25 minutes. They should look golden brown.
- You can brush butter over the brioche after it is baked to have a shiny look.
