Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk until lukewarm, crumble in the yeast, add a teaspoon of sugar, and let it stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Pour in the proofed yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs, then start kneading the dough.
3
Knead the dough thoroughly for 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If necessary, add a little more flour or milk to achieve the right consistency.
4
Cover with a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
5
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to a thickness of about 1 cm. Use a glass or donut cutter to cut out circles.
6
Let the donuts rise for another 30 minutes to make them even lighter during frying.
7
In a deep skillet or pot, heat the oil to 340-355°F (170-180°C). Fry only a few donuts at a time to keep the oil temperature stable.
8
Fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9
Melt the dark chocolate and heavy cream together over a double boiler until smooth and creamy.
10
Transfer the chocolate cream to a pastry bag and carefully fill the inside of the donuts.
11
Dust the donuts with powdered sugar, then serve them fresh so that the chocolate filling is still soft and creamy.
