Preparation time: 20 minutes
Rising time: 2 hours
Frying time: 15 minutes
Total: 2 hours and 35 minutes
Number of servings: 12 donuts
Necessary ingredients:
For the donuts:
- 500 g sifted white flour
- 1 packet of dry yeast (approximately 10 g)
- 1 egg
- 100 ml warm milk
- 30 ml white truffle flavored olive oil (or plain oil)
- 3 teaspoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons plain yogurt
- 1 tablespoon coconut extract cream
For the vanilla cream:
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 1 medium apple
- 300 ml water
- 1 packet of vanilla pudding (approximately 35 g)
- 200 ml milk
- 1 tablespoon coconut extract cream
For decoration:
- Powdered sugar
Preparing the donuts:
1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by organizing your workspace. Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature, especially the milk and egg, as they help activate the yeast.
2. Preparing the starter: In a large bowl, place the sifted flour and form a well in the center. In this well, add the beaten egg, yogurt, coconut extract cream, and yeast dissolved in warm milk mixed with sugar. Add the oil later. Sprinkle a little flour on top and let it sit for 10 minutes in a warm place to activate the yeast. You will notice the starter starting to bubble, indicating that the yeast is active.
3. Kneading the dough: After 10 minutes, add the oil and start kneading the dough, beginning from the center towards the edges. If necessary, you can gradually add warm milk until you achieve an elastic and homogeneous dough. Knead for about 10 minutes. Finally, brush the dough with a little oil on top and cover it with a clean cloth. Let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in volume.
4. Shaping the donuts: Once the dough has risen, sprinkle a little flour on the work surface and carefully roll it out. Initially, use your hands, then you can use a rolling pin to roll it out evenly. I recommend not rolling it too thin to keep the air in the dough.
5. Filling the donuts: Cut out two sheets from the dough. On the first sheet, place dollops of filling with a teaspoon, then carefully place the second sheet on top. Use the rim of a wider glass to cut circles over the filling. Make sure the edges are well sealed so that the cream doesn't leak during frying.
6. Second rising: Place the donuts on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and let them rise again for 30-45 minutes until they double in volume.
7. Frying the donuts: In a deep pan, heat the oil. Check the oil temperature by throwing in a small piece of dough; if it rises to the surface and starts to sizzle, then it’s ready for frying. Fry the donuts in batches, turning them each time until they become golden and crispy.
8. Serving: Once fried, remove the donuts onto a paper towel to absorb excess oil. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top and enjoy them warm.
Preparing the vanilla cream:
1. Apple compote: Peel the apple, remove the seeds and core, cut it into quarters, and boil it in 300 ml of water with 3 tablespoons of sugar. Boil until soft, then remove the apple piece.
2. Preparing the cream: In a separate bowl, mix the contents of a packet of vanilla pudding with 3 tablespoons of sugar and 5 tablespoons of milk. Heat the remaining milk (up to 200 ml) with the juice from the compote. When it boils, add the pudding mixture, stirring vigorously until it thickens. Finally, add 1 tablespoon of coconut extract cream and let it cool covered with plastic wrap.
Serving suggestions:
These fluffy donuts can also be filled with other creams, such as chocolate cream, Speculoos paste with cinnamon, or plain soft cheese. Each variation can offer a new and delicious experience.
Tips and useful advice:
- If you are short on time, you can use quick yeast, which does not require rising.
- You can add vanilla essence or citrus zest to the dough for extra flavor.
- Donuts can be stored in an airtight container, but they are best consumed fresh.
- If you want to serve them as an elegant dessert, you can also drizzle chocolate sauce on top.
