For the Coating

  • ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. Make the Dough

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add the warm milk, eggs, vanilla, and softened butter.
  3. Mix until a dough forms.
  4. Knead for 8–10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  5. Cover the bowl with a towel and let the dough rise for 1–1½ hours, or until doubled in size.

2. Shape the Donuts

  1. Punch down the dough.
  2. Divide it into 10–12 equal pieces.
  3. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.
  4. Place them on a parchment-lined baking tray.
  5. Cover and let rise for another 30–45 minutes until puffy.

3. Fry

  1. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Fry 2–3 donuts at a time.
  3. Cook for 1½–2 minutes per side until deep golden brown.
  4. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4. Fill with Nutella

  1. Transfer Nutella to a piping bag fitted with a filling tip.
  2. Make a small hole in each donut.
  3. Pipe a generous amount of Nutella into the center until filled.

5. Coat

  • While still slightly warm, roll the donuts in granulated sugar.
  • Dust with powdered sugar if desired.
  • Sprinkle chopped toasted hazelnuts on top for extra crunch.

💡 Tips

  • Warm the Nutella for 10–15 seconds to make it easier to pipe.
  • Keep the oil temperature between 340–350°F (170–175°C) for evenly cooked donuts.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pot while frying.
  • These donuts taste best the same day but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
