Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Active dry yeast - 7 grams
• Warm milk - 100 ml
• Sugar - 30 grams
• Salt - 5 grams
• Eggs - 2 large
• Butter - 50 grams, softened
• Vanilla gelato - 150 grams
• Chopped nuts (e.g., almonds or hazelnuts) - 30 grams

Steps

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt. Create a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and eggs.
3. Mix until a dough forms, then add the softened butter and knead for about 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4. Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
5. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Punch down the dough and shape it into two equal balls. Place them on a lined baking sheet, spacing them apart.
6. Let the shaped dough rise for another 30 minutes until puffy.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly.
8. Once cooled, slice the brioche in half horizontally and fill each half with a generous scoop of vanilla gelato.
9. Top with chopped nuts for added crunch and serve immediately.
