Heat the milk and butter together in a small pot until the butter melts.

Let the milk mixture cool to lukewarm and sprinkle yeast on top, waiting 5-10 minutes before stirring.

In a stand mixer bowl, add flour, salt, and sugar, whisk together.

Add eggs and the yeast mixture, knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough pulls away from the bowl.

Place the dough on a floured surface and knead a couple of times, then place in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic, and let rise for about 1 hour.

After rising, punch down the dough and form buns, filling them with Nutella and closing them up.

Let the buns rest for another hour, covered to prevent skin formation.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Brush the risen dough with milk and bake smaller buns for 10-15 minutes and larger dough for about 25 minutes, checking after 20 minutes.

Once baked, let the bread cool completely before cutting it lengthwise into half-inch slices without cutting all the way through.

Fill each opening with Nutella, turn the bread 90 degrees, and cut again lengthwise, filling those slices with Nutella.

Place the brioche on a baking sheet, cover with aluminum foil, and bake for approximately 10 minutes.

Dust the brioche with powdered sugar before serving.
