  • Active dry yeast: 2 ¼ tsp (1 packet or 7g)
  • Warm milk: 1 cup (240ml), about 110°F (43°C)
  • Unsalted butter: 3 tbsp (42g), melted
  • Salt: ½ tsp
  • Eggs: 2 large, at room temperature
  • Vegetable oil: For frying (enough to fill a pan with at least 2 inches of oil)
  • Chocolate filling: About 1 cup (240ml) chocolate spread (store-bought or homemade ganache)

How to Make Chocolate-Filled Sugar Donuts

Step 1: Prepare the Dough

  1. In a small bowl, combine the warm milk, yeast, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Stir gently and let sit for 5–10 minutes until foamy—this means the yeast is activated.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, remaining sugar, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs and mix with the melted butter.
  4. Add the yeast mixture and the egg-butter mixture to the dry ingredients. Stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  5. Knead the dough by hand for 8–10 minutes or use a stand mixer with a dough hook on low speed for 5–7 minutes, until smooth and elastic.
  6. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased bowl. Cover and let rise in a warm, draft-free place for 1 to 1½ hours, or until doubled in size.

Step 2: Shape the Donuts

  1. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air.
  2. Roll the dough out on a lightly floured surface to ½-inch (1.25 cm) thickness.
  3. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out circles. Re-roll the scraps and cut as needed.
  4. Place the cut dough on a floured tray, cover, and let rise again for 30–45 minutes, or until puffed.
