Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Rolling pin
  • Loaf pan
  • Baking brush
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 630 g all-purpose flour
  • 7 g yeast
  • 300 ml milk
  • 60 g sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 60 g butter
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 50 g cocoa powder
  • 100 g hazelnut grains for decoration
  • 1 tbs Butter for greasing
  • 100 g Chocolate for serving

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the milk, sugar, eggs, butter, yeast, flour, and a pinch of salt. Knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic.
  • Divide the dough into two parts—one plain and one with cocoa powder.
  • Roll each part into four smaller portions, shaping them into thin discs and stacking them with oil brushed between layers.
  • Shape the stacked dough into a brioche form and place it in a greased loaf pan. Cover and let it rise for an hour, or until it doubles in size.
  • Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Sprinkle the top with hazelnut grains.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, or until golden brown and glossy. Serve warm with melted chocolate for dipping.

Notes

Knead the dough thoroughly for the best texture. Let it rise in a warm place for optimal results. For added shine, brush with melted butter right after baking. Feel free to substitute ingredients like almond flour for gluten-free or use alternative nuts. Store in a cool, dry place wrapped tightly. Bread can be frozen for later enjoyment; just reheat gently in the oven to restore softness.
