Ingredients:
- 500 g bread flour
- 60 g cold butter, cubed
- 3 medium or small eggs
- 10 g salt
- 10 g yeast
- 200 ml cold milk
- 60 g sugar
For the filling:
- Chocolate or jam of your choice
Instructions:
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine flour, salt, sugar, and yeast. Start the mixer and gradually add the cold milk and eggs. Mix on medium to low speed for 15-20 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Let the dough rest in a cool place during this process.
- Allow the dough to rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size, about 40-60 minutes.
- After the first rise, portion the dough into pieces weighing 40-60 grams each or to your desired size. Shape them and let them rise again until doubled, about 40-60 minutes.
- Heat oil to 160-170°C in a deep fryer or a deep pan. Carefully place the donuts in the oil and fry without stirring for about 3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Remove the donuts from the oil and let them cool slightly. Fill them with your chosen chocolate or jam using a piping bag.
Enjoy these sumptuous chocolate-stuffed donuts, a perfect treat that combines the joy of baking with the delight of indulgent eating!
