Ingredients
Dough Ingredients:
- 1 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp active dry yeast
- 150 g (2/3 cup) warm milk
- 440 g (3 1/2 cups) all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 70 g (1/3 cup) granulated sugar
- 40 g (3 tbsp) butter, room temperature
- 1/2 tsp salt
Filling:
- 1 tbsp Nutella per portion
Egg Wash:
- 1 egg, beaten
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine warm milk, active dry yeast, and granulated sugar. Let it proof for 10 minutes, until it looks foamy and bubbly.
- Add flour, eggs, salt, and granulated sugar to the yeast mixture. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Gradually incorporate butter and continue kneading for another 8 minutes until fully combined and the dough is soft and silky.
- Cover the dough and let it proof in a warm place for 1 hour and 30 minutes at around 29°C (84°F), until doubled in size.
- Once proofed, divide the dough into 11 equal portions (69 g each) and roll each portion into a ball.
- On a slightly floured surface, roll out each ball into a flat piece. Place 1 tbsp Nutella along the top edge.
- Cut the dough into strips and carefully roll each piece so the Nutella is enclosed and the dough seals properly.
- Place the shaped brioche twists on a pan lined with parchment paper and let them rest for 30 minutes to proof again.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Brush the brioche with egg wash for a golden, glossy finish.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown. Optionally, brush with melted butter after baking for extra shine and flavor.
- Serve warm, or let cool completely and freeze for later enjoyment.
Notes
- Ensure all ingredients are room temperature for easier mixing and kneading.
- Fresh active dry yeast gives the best rise and fluffy texture.
- Don’t overfill with Nutella to prevent leaks.
- Proof the dough in a stable, warm environment—cold drafts can affect rising.
- Optional: Brush with melted butter after baking for extra shine and flavor.
- Brioche can be frozen after cooling, defrost overnight, and warmed for fresh-baked taste anytime.
