Chocolate-Filled Donuts
A French-style brioche donut, deep-fried to a burnished gold and piped full of dark chocolate ganache, then finished with a dusting of sugar. The dough is enriched with egg yolk and butter for a tender, pillowy crumb that stands up to the rich, barely-set filling.

Instructions
1
Warm the milk to roughly body temperature and whisk in the yeast and a pinch of the sugar; leave 5 minutes until foamy.
2
In a bowl combine the flour, remaining sugar and salt, then work in the egg yolk, softened butter and the yeasted milk until a smooth, slightly tacky dough forms.
3
Knead for 8 minutes by hand until elastic, then cover and prove in a warm spot for 60 minutes until doubled.
4
Knock back the dough, divide into 2 equal balls, and roll each into a smooth round. Rest on a floured surface, covered, for 20 minutes.
5
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan to 175°C, checking with the thermometer.
6
Fry the dough balls for about 1.5 minutes per side, turning once, until deep golden brown all over. Drain on paper towel.
7
Melt the dark chocolate with the warmed cream over a double boiler, stirring until glossy and smooth.
8
Once the donuts are cool enough to handle, use a skewer to make a pocket in the side of each and pipe in the warm chocolate ganache using a piping bag.
9
Dust the filled donuts generously with the reserved sugar and serve immediately while still warm.
