Donut Dough Ingredients
- 4 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 2 1/4 tsp Instant Yeast
- 1/2 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, softened
- 2 Eggs
Chocolate Filling Ingredients
- 1 cup Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Whisk until well blended. In a separate bowl, mix the whole milk, eggs, and melted butter. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until a soft dough forms.
- Knead and Rise: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours.
- Shape the Donuts: Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll the dough out to about half an inch thickness. Using a donut cutter (or two round cookie cutters), cut out the donuts and donut holes. Place them on parchment paper-lined trays.
- Second Rise: Cover the shaped donuts with a towel and allow them to rise again for about 30 to 45 minutes, until puffy and airy.
- Fry the Donuts: Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy skillet to around 350°F (175°C). Fry the donuts in batches, cooking each side for 2 to 3 minutes until golden brown. Make sure to keep an eye on the oil temperature for even cooking.
- Prepare the Filling: While the donuts cool, melt chocolate chips in a microwave or double boiler until smooth. Allow it to cool slightly before piping it into the donuts.
- Fill the Donuts: Using a piping bag fitted with a small round tip, carefully inject the melted chocolate into each donut. Fill until you feel it resist, but don’t overfill!
- Enjoy! Your Fluffy Brioche Donuts with Creamy Chocolate Filling are ready to be enjoyed! Dust them with powdered sugar or serve them plain—it’s up to you!
Notes
- Use Fresh Yeast: Always check the expiration date on your yeast for the best rising results.
- Temperature Matters: Warm ingredients help the dough rise better, so let your milk and butter reach room temperature.
- Test the Oil: Drop a small piece of dough into the hot oil to see if it sizzles, indicating the right temperature.
- Don’t Rush the Rising: Allow the dough to rise fully for a light, fluffy texture in your donuts.
- Experiment with Fillings: Don’t be afraid to try different chocolate varieties or other fillings to make it your own!
