Chocolate-Filled Doughnuts Recipe
Ingredients:
For the Dough:
500g all-purpose flour
50g sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons instant yeast
250ml warm milk
2 large eggs
50g unsalted butter, softened
For Filling and Coating:
Chocolate hazelnut spread or any chocolate filling
200g granulated sugar (for coating)
Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions:
Prepare the Dough:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
Mix in the warm milk and eggs until the mixture comes together.
Add the softened butter and knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Shape the Doughnuts:
Once risen, turn the dough out onto a floured surface.
Roll out to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Use a round cutter to cut out circles.
Place a small amount of chocolate filling in the center of half of the dough circles.
Cover each filled circle with another dough circle, sealing the edges tightly to encase the chocolate.
Let the shaped doughnuts rise for an additional 30 minutes.
Fry the Doughnuts:
Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully place the doughnuts in the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides.
Remove the doughnuts and drain on paper towels.
Coat the Doughnuts:
Roll the warm doughnuts in granulated sugar until evenly coated.
Conclusion:
These chocolate-filled doughnuts are a perfect treat, combining soft, fluffy dough with a rich chocolate center, all encased in a sweet sugary exterior. Serve them fresh and warm for an irresistibly indulgent snack or dessert. Enjoy the process and the delicious results!
