I made these Nutella-filled brioche buns for snack time, and they turned out really good, “special” even though it was my first time making them. Similar to the pan brioche recipe, how delightful, but with the quantities halved. Convenient to enjoy for a snack or breakfast, also easy to pack for school or work breaks.

Ingredients
- 2.2 lbs Flour
- 3.5 oz Butter
- 1 tsp Fine Salt
- 3 tbsps Sugar
- 0.88 oz Fresh Brewer's Yeast
- 1 Egg
- 1.25 cups Milk
- to taste Nutella
Preparation
In a pan over low heat, dissolve the yeast in lukewarm milk. Soften the butter by removing it from the fridge half an hour before or placing it in the microwave for a few seconds.
In a bowl, add all the ingredients and work with your hands for 15 minutes until you get a soft, elastic dough.
Cover with a towel to aid rising and leave it until it doubles in size, about two hours.
Form the buns by dividing the dough into small portions and let them rest for half an hour. Make a hole with your fingers and place a teaspoon of Nutella in the center of each bun. Close with the dough.
Place the buns on a baking sheet positioned in the middle of the oven, and after fifteen minutes, bake at 482°F for about fifteen to twenty minutes.
Watch the cooking through the oven glass, and I advise against using the fan for this recipe. You risk burning them. As you can see, the Nutella overflowed, and I slightly overcooked them, but they were saved… thanks to my husband’s vigilance 🙂
Nutella-Filled Brioche Buns
Tip for the Nutella-filled brioche buns recipe: This tip is useful any time you bake bread in the oven to make it rise higher and softer. Place a small pot of water at the bottom of the oven. The evaporating water softens the bread as it rises. Check out on Pinterest THE COOK WHO RECOVERS
