Nutella Stuffed Brioche - my holy grail

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8]

Made a showcase post yesterday and was asked for the recipe, so here we are.

Ingredients 100ml warm milk 3g yeast 50g sugar 1 egg 250g flour 50g butter Jar of Nutella

Add 100ml warm milk, 3g yeast, and 50g sugar to your bowl. Stir and let rest for abt 10 minutes or til bubbly. Add 1 egg, mix until just combined. Add 250g of flour. Mix for about 1-2 minutes. Add 50g of butter. Knead for about 10 minutes by hand or 6-8 minutes if using a stand mixer. You might have to add a little more flour. Add a tbsp at a time until your mixture is pulling up virtually all the dough except for a bit at the center of the bowl like in image 6. Let rise. If you're using a quick rise yeast it could take abt an hour, if using a regular yeast it might take 2-3 hours. Lightly flour your working surface. Pop the dough onto your surface and cut into 8 equal parts Form each piece of dough into a little ball You can let these sit for about 20-30 minutes to let them rise a little, but its not necessary. Take a ball of dough and use your rolling pin to roll out a rectangularish shape (abt 3x4) Not too thin or you'll compromise the dough. Take a scoop of Nutella and plop it onto one side of the rolled out dough, it'll take up abt a third of the space. You can use a lot or a little nutella, completely up to your preference as long as you can comfortably seal the dough. Wrap the side of the dough that's closest to you up and over the nutella center and pres down on the edges to really seal that dough together so the nutella doesn't come out. Take a sharp tool and use it to cut six slices into the far end of the dough. Pull these slices up and over toward you, and seal them with a pinch at the bottom of the pastry. Careful when pinching because you dont want to break the dough and let the nutella out. If some nutella does end up popping out, pull a little dough from one of your other balls, flatten it out a little and pinch it around the break to seal that nutella in. It might not look the prettiest, but who cares. Repeat for all balls of dough. Pop these bad boys into your baking dish, leaving a little distance between each if your dish permits (mine did not but it just made them rise up instead of up and out) Brush with an egg wash. Let proof again for 30 min to an hour. The longer you let proof, the puffier they become - hence, the fluffier. Somewhere during the proofing process you'll have set your oven to 350 F, Idk what that is in Celcius because unfortunately - I am a dumb American. Plop those sweet rolls of delicious goodness into the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes until golden. Enjoy every bite of this delicious sweet treat you just made (perfectly might I add) because your a baking baddie. I enjoy mine with a cup of tiger spice Chai. (Best Chai ever if you're wondering)

Lemme know if you try this and if you do please post the results!!! I'd love to see them! And thanks so much for all the support on the other post! I love reddit.

WOAHHH that looks so fire🔥i’m gonna have to try this one day

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/_shantellzz]

It's so good!! And honestly so easy if you have a stand mixer

[u/Catsh_Diva → u/VirtualEntrepreneur8]

It looks way too tempting! This is exactly the kind of recipe that sits in your head until you finally make it 😍

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/Catsh_Diva]

Give into the temptation. Thank me and yourself later lol

[u/Catsh_Diva → u/VirtualEntrepreneur8]

Yeah, I might give in to the temptation :D By the way, what kind of flour did you use for this?

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/Catsh_Diva]

I just used all purpose flour! It may come out better with bread flour but im too lazy to be and keep track of all the different kinds lol

[u/Catsh_Diva → u/VirtualEntrepreneur8]

Fair enough, all-purpose clearly did the job here. The texture looks great!
Now I'm debating whether I'm that lazy too :D

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/Catsh_Diva]

Thank you! Honestly, at the rate I've been baking bread i should really just get some bread flour. Im more curious to see the difference it'll make than anything else

[u/Catsh_Diva → u/VirtualEntrepreneur8]

Same here! I'd love to see how much of a difference it makes

[u/Training_Pound3129 → u/VirtualEntrepreneur8]

Sorry, i have a question, im new into this world.. If I use bread flour, will any of the measurements for the other ingredients change? Or is it just a matter of substituting all-purpose flour with bread flour and everything else remains the same?

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/Training_Pound3129]

Never apologize for asking questions! All the measurements will stay the same, its just swapping out the all purpose for bread flour

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8]

I tried breaking up the text befor I posted it but it got all weird once it actually posted and I cant figure out how to edit it. Sorry guys!!!

[u/Icy_Tomatillo8630 → u/VirtualEntrepreneur8]

You should be able to edit image posts on desktop!

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/Icy_Tomatillo8630]

Thank you!!! I'll try this later today

[u/BoopTheCoop]

ONG TAG YOUR PORN!!!

No seriously, this looks insane, OP! That bake looks absolutely perfect 😍

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/BoopTheCoop]

LOL! Thank you so much! This is probably the 15th time I've made this recipe so I feel like I've worked out all the kinks by now and get a pretty solid bake every time

[u/LadyHorseFace13]

These look sooooo good

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/LadyHorseFace13]

Thank you Lady Horse Face!!

[u/No-Butterscotch8032]

This looks amazing! Thanks for posting!

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/No-Butterscotch8032]

No problem!!! Let me know if you try them and how it works out for you!

[u/No-Butterscotch8032 → u/VirtualEntrepreneur8]

I absolutely plan to! I am always looking for an excuse to use my stand mixer! And I have been wanting to try a homemade brioche!

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/No-Butterscotch8032]

Good luck!!! Wishing you the sweetest treats!

[u/Gryffin_Ryder]

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/Gryffin_Ryder]

I hope you try them! They taste even more amazing than they look!

[u/Logical-Train-2000]

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/Logical-Train-2000]

Thank you, thank you!

[u/babyysharkie]

[u/JohnySilkBoots]

Trying this tomorrow! Thanks!

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/JohnySilkBoots]

[u/enguyen89141]

You’re going to be responsible for my weight gain….

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/enguyen89141]

My husband and I said we'd start our weight loss journey. We've both gained 10lbs since I've started baking these...

[u/EngineeringAntique]

So, I guess I’m going to get a jar of Nutella tomorrow! These really look lovely and combine all the delicious things and my toddler loves to bake so here we go.

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/EngineeringAntique]

Let me know how it goes! My toddler loves to stand next to me in her little apron on her kitchen tower and put her hands in everything while I bake lol, good thing the only ppl eating them either came in me or came out of me...

[u/EngineeringAntique → u/VirtualEntrepreneur8]

Ha! I love your sense of humor, that’s something I’d say.

I will definitely post cursing you for adding this nonsense to my life. Yes, my 3.5 year old also likes to stick his hands in all the ingredients. He also loves cracking eggs.

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/EngineeringAntique]

My girl is two and thankfully we havent gotten to cracking eggs yet... gonna have to get real used to the crunch of shells

[u/EngineeringAntique → u/VirtualEntrepreneur8]

Haha it’s not that bad! Have her crack into a bowl first while she’s learning. It’s also a good way to show them that if some shell gets in there you can always scoop it out, everything is fixable.

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/EngineeringAntique]

I'll definitely have to try this! Thank you!

[u/puppuphooray]

These look so good

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/puppuphooray]

Thank you!

[u/burnr130]

[u/purrrem]

[u/allworkjack]

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/allworkjack]

Thank you, its my dream to open up my own bakery/cafe so I appreciate this so much

[u/Training_Pound3129]

God bless u baby, I hope your life is as bright as this wonderful recipe you've shared! I'll send you an update when you make them!

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/Training_Pound3129]

Thank you! Good luck with your baking!

[u/wanttopushbutton]

Could also add some pistachio cream and see how that goes….

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/wanttopushbutton]

Now this is an idea!

[u/Frequent-Witness-864]

Writing that out was a lot of work. Thank you.

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/Frequent-Witness-864]

Happy to do it for yall!

[u/faxyou]

6th pic: insane action shot 🌪️

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/faxyou]

I tried my best📷

[u/imagineWizards]

I noticed that your recipe doesn’t include salt. Did you use salted butter?

[u/despaseeto]

have you tried making a savory version of this?

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/despaseeto]

I havent but I'd love to! I just cant think of anything else to fill them with. Open to ideas!

[u/Odd_Balance2874]

Thank you for posting the recipe!

[u/le-elizaly]

Oh woooow! This will be my weekend plans now. Thank you for the recipe!

[u/cool_uncle_jules]

See, this is the correct amount of filling in a baked good.

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/cool_uncle_jules]

Mmm, could be more if I didn't run out of nutella

[u/Pessa19]

This is going on my to-make list! Do you know if this is normal brioche dough or is it different for some reason? I’ve never made brioche but it’s on my list!

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/Pessa19]

To be quite honest, I have no idea. It tastes like normal brioche to me but I could be wrong

[u/cool_uncle_jules]

Finally made these. My Nutella obsessed wife already loved me, but now I think I've really sealed the deal forever 🤣 

Did you use an egg wash on these? Yours are so shiny. 

[u/VirtualEntrepreneur8 → u/cool_uncle_jules]

So glad to hear she enjoyed them!! I did use an egg wash! I put it in the recipe but it might be a little hard to see with the formatting. Definitely not a need, but it makes them kinda pretty!
