EGGLESS CHOCOLATE DONUTS
 
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cup + 6 tbsp all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp instant dry yeast
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • Oil, for frying
  • Filling
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate
  • ¼ cup fresh cream
  • ¼ cup whipping cream
  • Cinnamon sugar mix
  • 6 tbsp sugar
  • 3 tsp cinnamon powder
Instructions
  1. In a bowl, add flour, yeast, sugar, milk and butter. Mix everything using a wooden spoon/spatula to form a dough.
  2. ⁠Knead the dough using a stand mixer or hands for atleast 8-10 mins or until the dough starts to look shiny and stop sticking to your hand.
  3. ⁠To check if the dough is ready to proof, take small piece of dough and gently stretch it between your fingers . If the dough can be stretched thin enough and light passes through it , it means the dough is ready and it has passed the windowpane test.
  4. ⁠Transfer the dough in a bowl greased with oil. Cover the bowl with a cloth and let it proof for 1 hour in a dark warm place or until doubled in volume.
  5. ⁠Knock down the dough after the first proofing.
  6. ⁠Divide the dough into 40 grams balls each. Place these divided dough balls onto parchment paper and let it proof again for another 30 mins.
  7. ⁠Heat the oil for frying and once it is hot enough, carefully fry the donuts on each side till a nice golden brown colour is achieved. Roll them in cinnamon sugar while it’s still warm to coat evenly.
  8. ⁠While the donuts are cooling. To prepare the filling, start by making a dark chocolate ganache. Begin by chopping the chocolate. Heat the fresh cream in the microwave until it’s hot, then pour it over the chopped chocolate. Allow it to sit for a minute, then stir until you have a smooth, glossy ganache.
  9. ⁠Whip the whipping cream using an electric whisk until soft peaks are formed. Add in the dark chocolate ganache and whip it again to form stiff peaks.
  10. ⁠Make small holes on either side of the donuts and fill them with dark chocolate filling using a piping bag.
