Nutella Christmas Braided Brioche
This year, you should make your Christmas decorations in the
form of food. Or better yet, food in the shape of a Christmas decoration. Try
this delicious and creative bread with Nutella. We offered a recipe for a type
of bread before (but in a different shape) and we received a lot of valuable
feedback. So we tried a different approach with this. Here is what you’ll need:
- 250 g of 00 flour;
- 250 g
of
- 2 eggs;
- 60 g sugar;
- 180 ml of milk;
- 30 g butter;
- 1 packet of dry yeast;
- Nutella;
- 2 tablespoons of milk to use before baking;
The way to do it isn’t that hard. Start by mixing the two
type of flour with each other, add the yeast and sugar, mix well and form a
hole in the center. Break eggs, beat them slightly, and then add the milk and
melted butter. Work with your hands to form a soft dough. Afterward, cover the
bowl with plastic wrap and let it rise until it doubles in volume.
Next, divide the dough into 4 equal pieces, roll each into a
triangle form from which you cut at the bottom, so you’ll achieve a tree-like
shape (just like in the photo). Put the first shape on the baking sheet and
spread over a layer of Nutella, leaving 1 cm from the edges. Cover with the
other shape by placing it gently and sealing the edges well, then spread on top
another layer of Nutella. Continue until there aren’t any shape left; the top
one shouldn’t be covered with chocolate.
Make some cuts in order to do the twists, as they are shown
in the figure. When you have completed this, let it rise for about 30 minutes
then brush gently with some milk. Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes at
180 degrees. The result is one delicious chocolate brioche in the shape of a
lovely Christmas tree.
