Description

Chocolate glazed donuts are a sweet, fluffy treat topped with a rich chocolate coating and sprinkles, perfect for breakfast or dessert.


Ingredients

– 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
– 3/4 cup warm milk
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1/4 tsp salt
– 1 large egg
– 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
– 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
– Oil for frying
– 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– Sprinkles for topping


Instructions

1. In a bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let sit for 5 minutes.
2. Add sugar, salt, egg, butter, and flour. Mix until a dough forms.
3. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Cover and let rise for 1 hour.
4. Roll dough to 1/2-inch thickness. Cut out donut shapes.
5. Heat oil to 350°F (175°C) and fry donuts until golden, about 1 minute per side.
6. Melt chocolate chips and heavy cream in a microwave or double boiler to make glaze.
7. Dip cooled donuts into glaze and top with sprinkles.
8. Allow glaze to set before serving.

Notes

– Ensure the oil is at the right temperature to avoid greasy donuts.
– Use a donut cutter for consistent shapes.
– Let donuts cool before glazing to prevent melting.
