Ingredients

Scale

For the Donut Dough:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup milk (warm, about 110°F or 43°C)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)

For the Filling:

  • 1 cup Nutella

For the Coating:

  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the warm milk, melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  2. Shape the Donuts: Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/2 inch thickness. Use a donut cutter or two round cookie cutters to cut out donut shapes. Place the cut donuts on a floured baking sheet, cover with a towel, and let them rise another 30 minutes.
  3. Fry the Donuts: Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C). Fry the donuts in batches, cooking each side for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  4. Fill with Nutella: Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, fill a piping bag fitted with a round tip with Nutella. Insert the tip into the side of each donut and gently pipe in the filling.
  5. Coat the Donuts: Mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Roll each filled donut in the sugar mixture until fully coated.
  6. Serve: Enjoy the Nutella stuffed donuts warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Ensure oil temperature is maintained at 350°F for even frying and to avoid greasy donuts.
  • Use fresh active dry yeast for best rise and texture.
  • The cinnamon in the sugar coating is optional but adds a lovely warm flavor.
  • Donuts are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for 1-2 days.
  • Reheat gently in a microwave or oven before serving to soften the Nutella filling.
