Heart-shaped donuts: a delicious idea for a very special Valentine’s Day!

INGREDIENTS :
500 g (4 cups) all-purpose flour
50g (1/4 cup) sugar
10 g of fresh yeast
1 lemon (zest)
1 orange (zest)
1 egg
210 ml (3/4 cup) of water
4g salt
40g butter (soft)
hazelnut cream
Frying oil
Sugar

PROCESS :

  1. In a bowl, add the flour, sugar, baking powder, lemon (zest), orange (zest), egg, water, salt and butter and mix. When the dough begins to form knead with your hands to obtain a smooth dough. Cover with cling film and let rise for 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
  2. When the time is up, divide the dough into two halves. Roll out the first half and with the heart-shaped mold (10 cm mold) make the shapes.
  3. Transfer them to the baking sheet covered with parchment paper and with the smaller heart-shaped mold, prick the central part. Cover with a towel and let rise for 1 hour.
  4. Roll out the other half of the dough and divide it into several parts. Spread the hazelnut cream on one piece of dough and cover with another, sealing the edges well.
  5. Cut the dough with the heart mold and transfer them to the baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Cover with a towel and let rise for 1 hour.
  6. When the time is up, transfer them to the pan with hot oil and fry them until golden brown.
  7. Cover the heart-shaped donuts with sugar and serve
