Method :

1. In a bowl, whisk together the warm water, yeast, and 1 tsp of the granulated sugar and let it rest for 5-7 min.

2. In a large bowl take the flour, milk, remaining sugar, salt, eggs, vanilla, and foamed yeast.

3. Mix them until combined for about 3-4 minutes. Then, cover it with a clean kitchen cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 10-12 minutes. 

4. After 10-12 minutes knead the dough by hand or stand mixer. 

 

5. Add room-temperature butter to the dough and continue to knead for 12-15 minutes. The dough will be a little bit sticky at this point, but no need to worry.

6. This gives a perfect texture to the doughnut. If it is too sticky, then you can add a little bit more flour. Also, the better you knead, if using a stand mixer gives the best results.

7. Cover it with a plastic wrap and let it rest at room temperature for 30-45 min until double in size. Then place it in the refrigerator and let it rest for 2-3 hours. Or you can keep the dough in the refrigerator overnight without resting it at room temperature. 

8. Place the dough onto a floured work surface and divide it into two equal pieces. Roll each piece to 1/2-inch thick using a rolling pin.

9. Using a cookie cutter cut the dough into mini circles. 

10. Place these pieces on a parchment-lined baking tray. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest again at room temperature for about 30-45 min

11. Heat the oil to 350F. Fry both sides until golden brown. Remove the doughnuts from the oil on a paper towel.

12. Dip them into the sugar and cinnamon mixture, then using a pastry bag fill them with the hazelnut chocolate cream/ melted Amul chocolate. Or you can decorate according to your taste.
