Description

Soft and airy brioche donuts filled with a rich chocolate ganache, perfect for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet afternoon snack.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup warm milk
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • Oil for frying
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt. Add yeast mixture, eggs, and melted butter, and stir until a dough forms.
  3. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it, and let it rise for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.
  5. Roll out the dough and cut it into donut shapes.
  6. Let the formed donuts rise again for about 30 minutes.
  7. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry the donuts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  8. For the filling, heat heavy cream until boiling and pour over chocolate chips. Stir until melted and smooth.
  9. Once the donuts are cool, fill them with the chocolate filling using a piping bag.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
