Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 15 minutes
Total time: 35 minutes
Number of servings: 10-12 doughnuts

Ingredients

- 1 kg white flour
- 450 g yogurt (preferably fruit-flavored, for extra aroma)
- 200 g cream cheese Something Fine Delaco
- 15 g salt
- 150 g granulated sugar
- 50 ml oil (plus oil for frying)
- Zest of one lemon
- 2 packets of vanilla sugar
- Powdered sugar for decoration

Step by step: Preparing the doughnuts

Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Check the yogurt - it should be warm, not hot. You can warm it slightly in the microwave until it becomes lukewarm. This will help activate the yeast better.

Step 2: Mixing the ingredients
In a large bowl, add the warm yogurt, yeast, Something Fine cream cheese, salt, sugar, lemon zest, and vanilla sugar. Use a wooden spoon to mix everything very well. This is the moment to achieve a smooth and creamy composition. I recommend not to rush; this step influences the final texture of the doughnuts.

Step 3: Gradually add the flour
Once the ingredients are well mixed, start gradually adding the flour. Keep mixing until the dough becomes elastic. It should be a slightly sticky dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl. If it seems too sticky, add a little more flour.

Step 4: Let the dough rise
Transfer the dough to a floured working surface and knead it gently for a few minutes until it becomes smooth. Then, shape it into a ball and let it rise in a bowl covered with a clean towel for about 30 minutes. The dough should double in volume.

Step 5: Shaping the doughnuts
After the dough has risen, roll it out on the floured work surface to a thickness of about 1-2 cm. Use round cutters to cut out the doughnuts. Place them on a clean kitchen towel, covering them with another towel, and let them rise for another 15 minutes.

Step 6: Frying the doughnuts
In a pot, heat the oil (about 600-700 ml) until it reaches the right temperature for frying. A simple method to check if the oil is hot enough is to throw in a small piece of dough; if it rises to the surface and begins to sizzle, you are ready to fry. Carefully plunge the doughnuts into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd them. Fry them until golden, then flip them to brown evenly.

Step 7: Finishing and serving
Remove the doughnuts onto absorbent towels to eliminate excess oil. Once they have cooled slightly, dust them with powdered sugar. These cheese doughnuts can be served warm or at room temperature. I recommend pairing them with a cup of coffee or aromatic tea.

Chef's tip

If you want to add a splash of color and flavor, you can incorporate some pieces of candied fruit or even chocolate into the dough. Additionally, the doughnuts can be enjoyed with jam or honey.

Nutritional benefits

These doughnuts contain protein from the Something Fine cheese and yogurt, providing a balanced nutritional intake. The white flour provides carbohydrates, while the sugar gives the necessary energy for an active day. Moderate the portions to maintain a healthy balance.

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I use another type of cheese?
Yes, you can experiment with cottage cheese or ricotta, but the taste will be different.

2. How can I make the doughnuts less caloric?
Try reducing the amount of sugar or using natural sweeteners.

3. Can I freeze the doughnuts?
Yes, the doughnuts can be frozen after frying. Make sure they are completely cooled before wrapping them.

Serving suggestions

These doughnuts are delicious alongside a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a fruit tea. You can also serve them with vanilla ice cream for a more decadent dessert.

So, don’t hesitate any longer! Enjoy these aromatic and fluffy doughnuts on a lazy afternoon or at a gathering with friends. Bon appétit!
