Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of the flour, the brown sugar, yeast, and salt. Set aside.
In a small saucepan combine the evaporated milk, butter and ¼ cup of water. Heat until the butter is almost melted and the mixture reaches 105°-110°F on an instant read thermometer. Add the warm milk mixture to the flour mixture and add one of the eggs. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until combined, about 30 seconds. Beat on high speed for 3 minutes. This will be a very sticky, shaggy dough. Stir in the chopped chocolate and hazelnuts.
Now add some of the remaining flour stirring with a wooden spoon until the dough is soft, but still sticky. I used the remaining 1 ½ cups, but no more. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm place until it doubles in size (about 1 hour).

Make sure the butter and milk mixture is not too hot. Anything above 120-130 degrees will kill the yeast.
Baking time may vary depending on the size of the pan used to bake the bread. If the loaf is not very thick, check at the 30 minute interval. For a thick loaf, bake 45-50 minutes.
If baking in a glass pan, be sure to reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees.
