Ingredients:
- 360 grams flour
- 1 ½ tablespoons active dry yeast
- 40 grams melted butter
- 220 milliliters milk
- 40 grams sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
- ½ teaspoon orange blossom water
- Nutella spread
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough:
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the flour, active dry yeast, melted butter, milk, sugar, vanilla flavoring, and orange blossom water. Mix for 10 minutes until a smooth ball of dough forms that does not stick.
- First Rise:
- Cover the bowl with a cloth and let the dough rest for 1 hour until it doubles in size.
- Shape the Donuts:
- Punch down the dough to release any air. Roll out the dough to a thickness of about 2-3 cm. Use a round cookie cutter to cut out donut shapes.
- Second Rise:
- Place the donuts on a baking sheet and let them rest for another hour to swell.
- Fry the Donuts:
- Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 180°C (350°F). Fry the donuts in hot oil for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side until golden brown.
- Cool and Coat:
- Remove the donuts from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain. Coat the donuts with powdered sugar while still warm.
- Fill with Nutella:
- Once the donuts have cooled slightly, use a piping bag to fill each donut with Nutella spread.
Enjoy these delightful orange blossom donuts filled with Nutella, and share the joy with family and friends!
