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, cinnamon, and salt. Pour in the proofed yeast mixture, melted butter, and eggs. Start mixing the dough.
3
Knead the dough thoroughly for 10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic. If needed, 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, until doubled in size.
5
On a lightly 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 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 doughnuts at a time to keep the oil temperature stable.
8
Fry the doughnuts 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 over a double boiler, then dip the tops of the doughnuts into the melted chocolate.
10
Combine powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and a little extra cinnamon. Sprinkle the mixture over the chocolate-covered doughnuts.
11
Let the coating set, then serve fresh for the perfect harmony of cinnamon and chocolate flavors.
