Ingredients
Scale:
4 cups all-purpose flour (plus more for dusting)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 teaspoons instant yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup whole milk, warmed (110°F or 43°C)
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted (plus more for greasing)
4 large eggs, room temperature
1 cup Nutella
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, instant yeast, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution.
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the warm milk, melted butter, and room-temperature eggs. Use a spatula to gently mix until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Place the kneaded dough into a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm area until it doubles in size, about 1 to 2 hours.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles. Transfer it back to your floured work surface and roll it out into a rectangle approximately 12x18 inches.
Spread the Nutella evenly over the dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Starting from one long side, roll the dough tightly into a log. Pinch the seams to seal and gently twist the log into a spiral.
Place the twisted dough into a greased loaf pan. Cover it again with a damp cloth and let it rise for another 30 to 45 minutes.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) while the dough is rising.
Bake the brioche for 25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown on top.
Remove the brioche from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
