HOW TO MAKE DOUGHNUTS
STEP 1Heat the milk in a pan or microwave and dissolve in the fresh yeast. Add in 1 whole egg, 1 egg yolk and whisk together until mixed.
STEP 2Place the bread flour, the granulated sugar and the scraped vanilla seed from the pod on a wooden cutting board. Put the milk and egg mixture in the center and knead everything together until the dough is smooth. Then add soft butter, salt and grated lemon zest into the dough and continue to knead.
STEP 3Put the dough in a bowl and cover so the dough rises, leave this for 2 hours. Once risen, roll the dough in your palms, making 10 balls that resemble doughnuts. Place on a baking tray covered with parchment paper. When they rise and double in size, fry in oil at 350° F. Take the doughnuts out from the oil & let them cool down on absorbent paper for few minutes.
STEP 4The easiest way to fill each doughnut with on 1 tbsp of Nutella® is to use a piping bag. Once filled, cut a star out of a cardboard sheet and then use it as a stencil to decorate the doughnuts. Add icing sugar to the doughnuts, when you remove the cardboard stencil, your doughnuts will have a nice star on. Then it is to time to dig in!
