This easy-to-follow recipe guides you through making delicious filled donuts at home with simple ingredients.
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
In a large bowl, whisk flour with salt. In a separate small bowl, whisk together warm milk, sugar, egg, and dry yeast until combined.
Pour the liquid mixture into the dry ingredients and knead until a smooth dough forms, about 5-7 minutes.
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.
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.
Roll each ball into a rectangle with rounded edges, about 4x3 inches. Pipe a tablespoon of hazelnut spread in the center of each rectangle.
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.
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).
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. While still warm, roll each donut in sugar to coat completely.
