Instructions
Donuts
In a glass measuring cup, add warm milk, 1 tsp sugar and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it bubbles up. This is proofing your yeast to make sure it is live and active. Don't skip this step!
In a large mixing bowl add salt, eggs, melted butter and flour, stir with a wooden spoon
Pour the yeast mixture on top and stir, then when the dough starts to come together, use your hands to knead for a few minutes until the dough is no longer sticky.
Cover the mixing bowl & dough with a kitchen towel and allow it to rise for 2 hours
After the dough has risen, place a heavy stock pan on your stove top with 4 cups of canola oil over medium high heat.
Using a candy thermometer, get the oil to 350 degrees.
While the oil is heating up, roll out your dough. Using a donut cutter cut out donuts.
Carefully place a donut or two at a time in the hot oil. Be careful to not let the oil splash up and burn you. Fry for a minute or two and then flip the donut to the other side. Fry for another minute or so.
Using a slotted spoon or spatula, remove the donut and place on some paper towels to dry off any extra oil. Repeat the frying process until all the donuts are done.
Ganache
In a medium mixing bowl add chocolate chips and cream
Microwave chocolate for 30 seconds and stir vigorously. Repeat and stir until all the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Dip the finished donuts into the ganache and allow the excess to drip off before placing the donut back on a tray to set.
