Nutella Brioche Buns

Nutella Brioche Buns make me so happy! I love making these soft, chocolatey buns in my kitchen. The sweet smell of fresh bread mixed with Nutella is just amazing. This recipe is really fun to make, and I want to share it with you. It might look tricky, but I’ll show you all my simple steps. These buns are perfect for breakfast or when friends come over.

Ingredients Needed

For the Brioche Dough

• ¾ cup (175g) whole milk
• 3 tbsp (40g) unsalted butter, cut into small cubes
• 2 tsp (9g) instant yeast
• 3 cups (390g) all-purpose flour
• ¼ cup (58g) granulated sugar
• ½ tsp salt
• 1 large egg, plus 1 large egg yolk

For the Filling

• ½ cup Nutella spread

For the Raspberry Simple Syrup

• ⅓ cup raspberry jam
• 2 tbsp water

Brioche Dough

First, I heat milk and butter to 90°F. This temperature is just right for the yeast to work well. Then I mix everything in my stand mixer until the dough feels smooth and not sticky. The dough needs time to get bigger, so I let it rest for about 1½ hours.

Assembling Nutella Brioche Buns

I roll out the dough into a big rectangle. Then I warm up the Nutella a bit so it’s easy to spread. I’m careful to leave some space at the edges so it stays neat when I roll it up.
