One of the first phrases I learned in French before my trip to Paris was "Where is the bakery?" My friend Ines (Parisan and former Cast Member of mine) emphasized the importance of French bakeries, and gave me a laundry list of items that we needed to sample.
Perhaps one of our favorite bakery finds was found in a rather untraditional setting, Disneyland Paris. What was this confection that could not be located in the bakeries of Paris? "Brioche Mickey," a brioche bun in the shape of Mickey Mouse stuffed with a healthy dollop of Nutella baked into the center.
While perusing the Internet for bread recipes, I stumbled across this gem of a recipe:

Since the recipe creates not one, not two, but THREE loaves, an idea struck me. Why not make the third loaf with a nutella swirl, inspired by my beloved Mickey shaped roll?!
This bread took some patience, but it was WELL worth it! I followed the recipe on Clockwork Lemon's blog, so I will not be reposting it here. . .the only exception is the Nutella loaf, but all I did was "paint" a thick line of nutella horizontally across the dough before rolling it up.
