Preparation Steps
1
Warm the milk, crumble in the yeast, add a teaspoon of sugar, and let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, and salt. Pour in the proofed yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Start kneading the dough.
3
Knead the dough thoroughly for 10 minutes until it becomes 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 floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1 cm thickness. Use a glass or doughnut cutter to cut out circles.
6
Let the doughnuts rise for an additional 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 doughnuts at a time to keep the oil temperature stable.
8
Fry the doughnuts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
9
Melt the dark chocolate with the heavy cream over a double boiler until you get a smooth, glossy chocolate glaze.
10
Dip the tops of the cooled doughnuts into the chocolate glaze and let it set.
11
Dust powdered sugar over the tops of the doughnuts for the perfect finish, or decorate with chocolate shavings.
12
Serve fresh, so that the chocolate glaze and soft doughnut can be enjoyed in perfect harmony.
