Method
- Combine milk, sugar, eggs, butter, yeast, flour, and salt in a large bowl; knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts; add cocoa powder to one part and mix well.
- Let both portions rest for about an hour, covered with a damp cloth.
- Once risen, divide each half into four smaller pieces; roll out into flat circles.
- Stack the layers, alternating between plain and chocolate dough, brushing each layer lightly with oil.
- Shape the stacked dough into a traditional brioche form and place it in a loaf pan.
- Allow it to rise for another hour while preheating the oven during the last 15 minutes.
- Sprinkle hazelnut grains on top, then bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and drizzle melted chocolate over the top.

Notes
Experiment with different nuts for a unique texture. For a healthier version, consider using half whole wheat flour or reducing the sugar. Store wrapped tightly in plastic or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days, or freeze for longer storage. Reheat in the oven for a few minutes to refresh its softness before serving.
