Instructions
1
Warm the milk gently and bloom the dried yeast in it for 5 minutes until foamy.
2
In a bowl combine flour, sugar and salt, then mix in the beaten egg, softened butter and the yeast mixture to form a soft dough.
3
Knead the dough for 8 minutes until smooth and elastic, then cover and let rise in a warm spot for 60 minutes until doubled.
4
Punch down the dough and divide into two equal pieces, shaping each into a smooth ball; rest for 20 minutes under a cloth.
5
Melt the dark chocolate with the warmed cream over a double boiler, stirring until glossy, then set aside to cool slightly and thicken.
6
Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fry pan to 175°C, checked with a thermometer.
7
Fry each dough ball for about 2 minutes per side, turning once, until deep golden brown all over.
8
Lift onto a wire rack lined with paper towel to drain excess oil for a minute.
9
Using a piping bag fitted with a narrow nozzle, inject the chocolate ganache into the centre of each warm donut.
10
Dust generously with the reserved sugar and serve immediately while still warm.
