Chocolate-Filled Doughnuts:
        Yields: 16 doughnuts
        Preparation: 45 mins
        Rise: 30 mins

Ingredients:
1 package active dry yeast
3 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup warm water (105 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup warm milk or water (105 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
1 egg
1 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter or margarine cut up and softened.
 Cooking oil for deep-frying
1/3 cup sugar
3/4 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread 

Procedure:
In a small bowl, whisk together yeast, 1 tablespoon of the sugar, and 12 cup warm water until yeast is dissolved. Let stand for 10 minutes.

In a large food processor, combine flour, milk, egg, egg yolk, salt, yeast mixture, and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar. Blend in the processor until combined then add butter and continue processing until dough becomes sticky.

Place dough in lightly greased bowl; cover and chill in refrigerator overnight (8 to 12 hours).

On a well-floured surface, roll dough to 12-inch thickness.

Using a round cutter, cut dough. Reroll as necessary.

Arrange dough rounds on a baking sheet dusted with all-purpose flour. Cover and let rise about 30 minutes or until nearly double in size.

Heat oil in a saucepan and fry doughnuts, three at a time, in deep hot oil about 2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove doughnuts using a slotted spoon; drain on paper towels. While warm, use tongs to dip each doughnut in sugar to coat. 

In a bowl, place 1/3 cup sugar; set aside. Place chocolate-hazelnut spread in a decorating bag fitted with a large round tip; set aside.

Holding each doughnut use a dowel and chopstick to poke a hole in one side of doughnut. 

Pipe chocolate-hazelnut spread through opening. Repeat on opposite side of doughnut. Serve warm. 

Tastes good with black coffee and milk.
 

Enjoy your Chocolate-filled doughnuts!
