Ingredients

  • 2½ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup warm milk (110°F)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 large egg
  • 2¼ teaspoons active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
  • 1 cup hazelnut spread
  • Vegetable oil for frying (about 2 quarts)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar (for coating)

Instructions

 

  1. In a large bowl, whisk flour with salt. In a separate small bowl, whisk together warm milk, sugar, egg, and dry yeast until combined.
  2. Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and knead until a smooth dough forms, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Shape the dough into a ball, place in an oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let rise in a warm spot for 1 hour until doubled in size.
  4. Cut the dough into 10 equal portions and roll each into a ball. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let rise for 20 minutes.
  5. Roll each ball into a rectangle with rounded edges, about 4×3 inches. Pipe a tablespoon of hazelnut spread in the center of each rectangle.
  6. Pinch the edges together to seal, then connect the ends to form a circle-shaped donut. Place on parchment paper and let rest for 20 minutes.
  7. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) in a deep pot or Dutch oven. Fry donuts for 2 minutes per side until golden brown, flipping halfway through (4 minutes total).
  8. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll each donut in sugar to coat completely.

Notes

  • Make sure your yeast is fresh and your milk is the right temperature (110°F) to ensure proper rising.
  • Don’t overfill the donuts – about 1 tablespoon of filling is perfect.
  • Use a thermometer to maintain oil temperature at 350°F for perfect frying.
  • For best results, roll donuts in sugar while they’re still warm but cool enough to handle.
  • Try other fillings like vanilla custard, fruit jam, or Nutella for variety.
