Directions

Make the tangzhong
1. Stir the flour and milk in a nonstick pan over medium heat until they form a thick paste.
Mix the tangzhong with cold milk and yeast
1. In the bowl of your standing mixer, mix the tangzhong with cold milk and yeast and let sit for 5 minutes. The heat of the tangzhong will bring the overall temperature to a lukewarm ideal for the yeast.
Add all the other ingredients for the dough
1. Add all the other ingredients for the dough, leaving out half of the butter.
2. Knead at medium-high speed using a dough hook for 5 minutes until the dough starts to come together.
3. Add the remaining butter and knead again for 5-8 minutes until a smooth and stretchy dough has formed. It should pull away from the edges of the bowl.
4. Cover and let the dough rise for about 1 hour until it doubles in size (or overnight in the fridge, but don't rise at room temperature and then leave the dough in the fridge).
Roll the dough into a ½ inch thick sheet
1. Cut out 4” circles. Repeat until all the dough is used up.
2. Place the circles donuts onto small pieces of parchment paper, and transfer them to a tray.
3. Rest for about 30-45 minutes at room temperature.
Heat 2-3 inches of oil in a wok over medium heat
1. Once it has reached 350F, carefully drop in a test donut, removing the parchment paper, and fry for about 2 minutes per side.
2. Test for doneness and adjust timing as needed.
3. Fry all donuts, and keep the raw donuts in a cool place as you fry so they don’t overproof.
While warm, dip the donuts in the sugar
1. Coat them generously.
2. Microwave the Nutella for 5-10 seconds and add the oil to make it a bit runnier.
3. Transfer to a piping bag fit with a Bismarck tip.
Fill your donuts with 20-25g of Nutella each
1. Serve & enjoy! These are best eaten fresh but stay really good for a day.
