Method

  1. Place parchment paper on a baking tray.

  3. Take yeast in a bowl. Add half the sweetened milk, whisk well and set aside.
  4. To the remaining sweetened milk, add 50 grams butter and mix well till it melts.
  5. Sieve refined flour in a bowl. Add salt, egg yolks, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon powder and yeast mixture and whisk well.
  6. Add milk-butter mixture and mix well to make a soft elastic mixture.
  7. Dust worktop with some flour, place the prepared mixture on it and knead gently.
  8. Dust another bowl with some flour and put the dough in it. Cover with a cling film and set aside in a warm place for 30 minutes.
  9. To prepare chocolate filling, chop chocolate into small pieces and place in a bowl. Add cream and butter and heat in a microwave for a minute. Remove from heat, stir well and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  10. Dust some refined flour on worktop, transfer the dough on it and knead. Roll the dough into half inch thick disc.
  11. Use a medium size cookie cutter to cut out roundels from the dough. These are donuts. Put the donuts on the parchment paper and set aside for 15 minutes.
