Ingredients

Scale

Dough:

  • Tangzhong: 4 tbsp milk (50g, 1 tbsp flour (10g))
  • 3/4 cup milk (180g)
  • 1.5 tsp yeast
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (400g)
  • 2 tbsp milk powder (15g)
  • 1/4 cup sugar (50g)
  • 1 large egg (at room temperature)
  • 5 tbsp softened butter (divided into 2 parts (70g))
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Assembly ingredients:

  • 1 cup sugar for coating (200g)
  • 250300 g Nutella mixed with 1-2 tbsp oil


Instructions

  1. Start by making the tangzhong. Just stir the flour and milk in a nonstick pan over medium heat until they form a thick paste.
  2. Mix the tangzhong with milk and yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Add all the other ingredients for the dough, leaving half of the butter. Knead at medium-high speed for 5 minutes.
  4. Add the remaining butter and knead again for 5-8 minutes until you have a smooth and stretchy dough.
  5. Cover and let it rise for 1 hour (or overnight in the fridge).
  6. Roll the dough into a 1/2 inch thick sheet. Cut out 4” circles. Repeat until all the dough is used up.
  7. Place the donuts on pieces of parchment and transfer to a tray. Let them rest for about 45 minutes in a warm place.
  8. Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a wok over medium heat. Once it reaches 350F, carefully drop in a test donut and cook for about 2 minutes per side. Test for doneness and adjust timing as needed. Fry all the donuts, keeping the raw ones in a cool place so they don’t overprove.
  9. While warm, dip the donuts in sugar and coat generously.
  10. Microwave the Nutella for 5-10 seconds and add the oil to make it a bit runnier. Transfer to a piping bag with a Bismarck tip.
  11. Fill your donuts with 20-25g Nutella each.
  12. Serve and enjoy! These are best eaten fresh but are good for a day.
