Ingredients

• 3.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cups granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 packet instant yeast
• 1 cup whole milk
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 large eggs
• 0 for frying vegetable oil
• 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine 3 cups of all-purpose flour, 0.5 cups of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 packet of instant yeast.

Step 2

In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk and 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter over low heat until warm and the butter melts. Let it cool to lukewarm.

Step 3

Add the milk mixture and 2 large eggs to the flour mixture. Stir to form a sticky dough.

Step 4

Add the remaining 0.5 cups of flour, a little at a time, and knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and roll it out to about 0.5 inches thick.

Step 7

Using a doughnut cutter, cut out doughnuts, and re-roll scraps until all the dough is used.

Step 8

Heat vegetable oil in a large pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

Step 9

Carefully add doughnuts to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry for about 1 minute on each side or until golden brown.

Step 10

Remove doughnuts from the oil and drain on paper towels.

Step 11

For the glaze, place 1 cup of semisweet chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.

Step 12

In a small saucepan, heat 0.5 cups of heavy cream until just simmering, then pour it over the chocolate chips.

Step 13

Let it sit for a minute, add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, then stir until smooth and glossy.

Step 14

Dip the top of each doughnut into the chocolate glaze and place on a wire rack to set.

Step 15

Serve warm or at room temperature.
