  • Description
  • These homemade stuffed donuts feature a soft, fluffy exterior with a rich hazelnut filling inside. Rolled in sugar while still warm, they create the perfect sweet treat for breakfast or dessert that rivals any bakery. 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.

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.
