Ingredients
Start here, then move straight into the method.
- 4 cups flour
- 2 eggs
- 100 g unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons yeast
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup warm milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- Ganache sauce
- 250 g dark or regular chocolate
- 50 g butter
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- Melt the ingredients using a double boiler method and slowly add the fresh liquid cream gradually, mixing well until a homogeneous mixture is obtained
- Note
- It is best to use a thermometer with this recipe to ensure the oil temperature, which should be 180°C.
- One of the most important secrets to successful donuts is the proofing method; also the thickness of the donuts should not be less than 8 mm
- The dough must be kneaded well so it does not absorb oil during frying.
Method
Follow the cooking sequence without leaving the page.
- Put the milk, sugar and yeast in a deep bowl and mix them well, then leave them aside for 5 minutes.Timers: 5 min
- Add all the other ingredients, then add the flour and knead for no less than 12 to 13 minutes until you obtain a soft smooth dough.Timers: 13 min
- Set the dough aside to rest for 2 hours.Timers: 120 min
- Cut them into donut shapes and leave them for 2 to 3 hours to proof again before frying.Timers: 180 min
- Heat the oil over high heat until hot (ideal temperature 180°C), then reduce the heat to medium—not low—so that the donuts do not burn on the outside while remaining undercooked inside if the heat is too high... and also so the donuts do not absorb too much oil if fried on low heat.
- Fry the donuts, then remove them from the oil and set them aside to cool; then cut them in the middle and fill them with pastry cream.
- Coat the donuts with Nutella or chocolate ganache
- When frying, put a little oil in the pan or deep-fryer (about 2 cm deep) and do not fry in very deep oil.
