In a bowl, add flour, yeast, sugar, milk and butter. Mix everything using a wooden spoon/spatula to form a dough.
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.
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.
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.
Knock down the dough after the first proofing.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Make small holes on either side of the donuts and fill them with dark chocolate filling using a piping bag.
