⅓ cup warm milk (100 ml)
½ cup sugar (100 g)
½ tsp salt
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
7 tbsp unsalted butter, softened (100 g)

For the Filling:

5 oz dark chocolate, melted (150 g)
⅓ cup hazelnut spread (100 g)
½ cup crushed hazelnuts (50 g)
2 tbsp cocoa powder
2 tbsp sugar

For the Syrup:

⅓ cup water (100 ml)
½ cup sugar (100 g)
½ tsp vanilla extract

Instructions:

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in warm milk with 1 tablespoon of sugar. Let it sit for 5–10 minutes until frothy.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Add the yeast mixture, eggs, vanilla extract, and softened butter. Knead for 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rise in a warm place for 1.5 to 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
