Heart-shaped donuts: a delicious idea for a very special Valentine’s Day!
INGREDIENTS :
500 g (4 cups) all-purpose flour
50 g (1/4 cup) sugar
10 g of fresh yeast
1 lemon (zest)
1 orange (zest)
1 egg
210 ml (3/4 cup) water
4 g of salt
40 g butter (soft)
Hazelnut cream
Oil for frying
Sugar
PROCESS :
In a bowl, add the flour, sugar, yeast, lemon (zest), orange (zest), egg, water, salt and butter and mix. When the dough begins to form, knead with your hands to obtain a smooth dough. Cover with cling film and leave to rise for 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
Once the time is up, divide the dough into two halves. Spread the first half and use the heart-shaped mold (10 cm mold) to make the shapes.
Transfer them to the baking tray lined with parchment paper and with the smaller heart-shaped mold, prick the central part. Cover with a cloth and let rise for 1 hour.
Roll out the other half of the dough and divide it into several parts. Spread the hazelnut cream on a piece of dough and cover with another, sealing the edges well.
Cut the dough with the heart mold and transfer them to the baking tray lined with parchment paper. Cover with a cloth and let rise for 1 hour.
Once the time is up, transfer them to the pan with hot oil and fry until golden brown.
Cover the heart-shaped donuts with sugar and serve.
