Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl.

Dissolve yeast in warm milk and let sit until frothy, about 5 minutes.

Add eggs and vanilla extract to the yeast mixture, then combine with dry ingredients.

Knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Incorporate softened butter gradually, kneading until fully absorbed.

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Punch down the dough and divide it into equal pieces.

Shape each piece into a ball and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Make a small indentation in the center of each ball and fill with chocolate hazelnut spread and chopped hazelnuts.

Cover the buns and let rise again until puffed, about 30-45 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Brush the buns with egg wash before baking.

Bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.

Let cool on a wire rack before serving.
