Yogurt and chocolate cream donuts - A fluffy and tasty delicacy Preparation time: 20 minutes Rising time: 1 hour Frying time: 10 minutes Total time: 1 hour and 30 minutes Number of servings: 12 donuts Yogurt and chocolate cream donuts are a dessert that combines the fluffy texture of the dough with the creamy sweetness of chocolate. These donuts are perfect for a lazy afternoon or to impress guests with a delicious snack. The history of donuts dates back centuries, being a delicacy appreciated in many cultures, and each recipe has its own story. Let’s explore this simple and delicious recipe together! Ingredients: - 2 eggs (room temperature) - 200 g yogurt (choose a creamy yogurt for better results) - 250 ml warm milk (not hot, to activate the yeast) - 70 g sugar (you can adjust to taste) - 80 ml oil (plus oil for frying, depending on the size of the pan) - 10 g dry yeast (or 25 g fresh yeast) - A pinch of salt - 2 vials of vanilla essence (for an irresistible aroma) - Approximately 800 g flour (you can use type 00 wheat flour for a finer dough) - Finetti (or another chocolate cream) - Powdered sugar with vanilla flavor (for decoration) Step by step to get perfect donuts: 1. Preparing the yeast: In a small bowl, add the yeast, a teaspoon of sugar, 50 ml of warm milk, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Mix well and let it sit in a warm place for about 15 minutes, until the yeast bubbles and becomes frothy. This is an essential step to ensure proper rising of the dough. 2. Mixing the ingredients: In a large bowl, sift the flour and make a well in the center. Add the activated yeast, the rest of the warm milk, yogurt, eggs, sugar, salt, vanilla essence, and oil. Use a spatula or your hands to mix the ingredients until a homogeneous dough forms. 3. Kneading the dough: Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, but don’t overdo it, so the donuts don’t turn out too heavy. 4. Rising the dough: Cover the bowl with a clean towel and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until the volume of the dough doubles. You can check if the dough is ready by gently pressing it; if it springs back quickly, it’s perfect. 5. Preparing the chocolate cream: In a small bowl, add Finetti and a little milk, mixing until you achieve a creamy and smooth consistency suitable for filling the donuts. 6. Shaping the donuts: On a floured surface, take the risen dough and shape it into a ball. Divide the dough into equal pieces (about 50 g each) and form small balls. Use a rolling pin to roll each ball into an oval sheet about 0.5 cm thick. 7. Filling the donuts: Place about 2 teaspoons of chocolate cream on one half of the sheet and fold the other half over the filling, forming a "wallet." Press the edges firmly with your fingers to seal the donuts, making sure the filling won’t leak during frying. 8. Final rising: Let the shaped donuts rise for another 15 minutes on the counter, covered with a clean towel. This step will make the donuts even fluffier. 9. Frying the donuts: In a deep pan, heat the oil to medium temperature. Once the oil is hot, fry the donuts on both sides until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Make sure not to overcrowd the donuts in the pan for even frying. 10. Decorating the donuts: After removing them from the oil, let them cool slightly, then sprinkle powdered sugar with vanilla flavor on top for an attractive appearance and sweet taste. Serving suggestions: These yogurt and chocolate cream donuts are delicious warm, but can also be enjoyed cold. You can serve them alongside a cup of coffee or tea, or even with a fruit smoothie for a perfect breakfast or snack treat. Variations: To add a personal touch, you can replace Finetti with other types of chocolate creams or even fruit jams. You can also experiment with flavors by adding cinnamon or lemon zest to the dough. Frequently asked questions: - Can I use fresh yeast instead of dry yeast? Yes, 25 g of fresh yeast is equivalent to 10 g of dry yeast. - How can I keep the donuts fresh longer? Store them in an airtight container at room temperature. You can reheat them slightly to restore their fluffy texture. Nutritional benefits: These yogurt donuts are a good source of protein from eggs and yogurt, and moderate consumption can provide a dose of energy and pleasure. However, it’s best to enjoy them in moderation, considering the sugar and calorie content. Calories per serving (1 donut): approximately 180 kcal. Yogurt and chocolate cream donuts are more than just a simple dessert; they are part of our sweet memories and a way to indulge and enjoy the moments spent in the kitchen. I wish you happy cooking and to enjoy every bite!
