To prepare a delicious and aromatic dessert, start by greasing a high-sided, heat-resistant dish with butter, having a height of 7-10 cm. It is important to grease not only the bottom but also the sides of the dish, as the dough will rise considerably during baking. Next, place the ingredients in the bread machine in the following order: add the melted and cooled butter, the warm milk in which you have dissolved the sugar and salt, then the sifted flour, the egg, your preferred flavors, and finally, the dry yeast. If you opt for fresh yeast, mix it with half of the sugar, dissolving it in a little warm milk from the total amount. Choose the dough program of the bread machine.
If you do not have a bread machine, proceed differently: rub the yeast with half of the sugar, dissolving it in half of the warm milk, then add a few tablespoons of flour. Let the mixture rise covered for about 15 minutes. In a bowl, put the sifted flour, add the remaining sugar and salt dissolved in the other half of the warm milk, the egg, and mix well. Then, gradually incorporate the melted and cooled butter, kneading an elastic dough that does not stick to your hands or the bowl. Place the dough in a bowl greased with oil, cover it well, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour, or until it doubles in volume.
After the dough has risen, take it out onto the work surface and divide it into equal parts, considering the desired size of the donuts, keeping in mind that they will triple in volume. Gently press each portion with your palm to flatten it, adding a teaspoon of filling in the middle. Gather the edges and shape them into a round shape, gently flattening them. If you want plain donuts without filling, shape them into rounds and then flatten them. Place the donuts in the heat-resistant dish, one next to the other, without leaving spaces between them. Cover with a thicker towel and let them sit at room temperature while preheating the oven to 50 degrees Celsius. Bake for 15 minutes at this temperature.
Remove the dish and place it on a rack covered with a towel, immediately wrapping the donuts with a thick towel, including the side walls, until the oven reaches 200 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, bring to a boil the milk in which you have dissolved the sugar and butter. Before placing the donuts in the preheated oven, pour the hot milk over them. Bake for about 30 minutes or until the dough has absorbed all the liquid, having a beautifully browned color. After baking, remove the donuts onto a rack to cool. Serve them either sliced or pulling apart the donuts, and for an extra touch of flavor, you can dust them with vanilla powdered sugar. This dessert will surely delight any palate!
