Soft, fluffy, and filled with gooey Nutella, this Nutella Stuffed Chocolate Chip Bread is the kind of sweet baked treat that feels extra special but is surprisingly simple to make. A tender enriched dough is loaded with 70% dark chocolate chips, shaped around a rich Nutella filling, and baked until golden, then finished with a dusting of powdered sugar for the perfect bakery-style touch.
What Makes Them Special?
What makes this recipe stand out is the combination of a soft bread base, 70% dark chocolate chips and a thick Nutella filling. The dough itself is enriched but still simple, giving the bread a tender crumb without feeling heavy.
The dark cocoa drops (70%) add a deep, rich chocolate flavor that balances the sweetness of the Nutella perfectly. Brushing the dough with milk before baking helps create a more golden surface, while the final dusting of powdered sugar adds a classic sweet finish. Because the bread is portioned before baking, it is also easy to share and perfect for pulling apart.
Important Note
Do not overfill the bread with Nutella, because the filling can leak during baking. It is also best to let the dough rise properly so the bread stays light and fluffy instead of dense.

Serving Suggestion
Serve the bread warm so the Nutella stays soft and the chocolate chips are slightly melty. A dusting of powdered sugar makes it look elegant and adds a light sweetness on top. It pairs especially well with coffee, hot chocolate, or a cold glass of milk. For an extra indulgent dessert-style version, serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This bread is best enjoyed fresh from the oven or gently rewarmed before serving.

Let the Dough Rise Fully – A proper rise gives the bread a soft, airy texture.
Do Not Overfill – Too much Nutella can escape while baking.
Use good quality Chocolate Chips – The 70% dark cocoa drops give a rich, less sweet flavor. Use code DIA10 for 10% off.
Brush With Milk Before Baking – This helps the bread develop a golden surface.
Cool Slightly Before Serving – The filling will be extremely hot right out of the oven.

Instructions
Step 1: Make the Dough
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and dry yeast. Add the lukewarm milk, egg, softened butter, and oil, then mix until a dough begins to form. Knead until smooth and elastic.
Step 2: First Rise
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size. This helps create a soft and fluffy texture.
Step 3: Add the Chocolate Chips
Once the dough has risen, gently knead in Dark Cocoa Drops (70%) until evenly distributed.
Step 4: Divide the Dough
Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces, about 128 g each, or make 16 smaller pieces if you prefer a more bite-sized version.
Step 5: Fill With Nutella
Flatten each piece and place a portion of Nutella in the center. Seal the dough carefully around the filling so it is fully enclosed.
Step 6: Shape and Rest
Shape the filled dough pieces as desired and place them on a lined baking tray. Let them rest briefly so they puff up slightly.
Step 7: Brush and Bake
Brush the tops with milk, then add extra Cocoa Circle chocolate chips if you want. Bake at 180°C for 20–22 minutes until golden brown.
Step 8: Finish
Let the bread cool slightly, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
