Ingredients
- 250 ml water
- 100 gr sugar
- 1 teaspoon yeast
- 2 teaspoons of salt
- 620 gr of pastry flour
- 60 grams of butter
- Yolks 4
- ½ teaspoon vanilla essence (optional)
Preparation
- We catch a bowl (1st) and add the warm water, half a teaspoon of yeast and a tablespoon of sugar. Mix and let it rest for a few minutes.
- En another bowl (2nd), we mix the ingredients like the sugar, flour, and the other half a teaspoon of yeast that we had left.
- With a third bowl somewhat larger, we put the egg yolks, the vanilla essence and the butter. We beat well with the help of a blender.
- Next, in this large bowl, we mix the mixture from the first one, and stir well. We also add the second bowl and begin to knead the mixture to form a soft and smooth ball. When we have it done, we let it rest for an hour and a half approximately (it will increase in volume).
- Next, on a smooth base and with flour so that it does not stick, we place the ball of dough and we crush with the help of a roller, leaving a thickness of about 2 centimeters. And we are cutting the donuts with a special mold. We will get approximately 20 doughnuts.
- We place them on a baking tray, paint it with a kitchen brush with some sunflower oil and put it in 180 ºC about 20 minutes until they are somewhat golden. When they are like this, we set aside.
- Then you can put the coverage you want. In our case we have chosen one chocolate cover made from dark chocolate (one tablet) and a gelatin envelope. In which we have introduced the donuts one by one and left to cool in the refrigerator for about a couple of hours.
