Directions

• Put the water in a bowl and mix in the brown sugar. Add the yeast and stir, leave for 5 minutes until bubbly.
• Mix the flour and salt in a bowl and stir in the bubbly yeast mixture until it comes together to form a dough. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until it is smooth and elastic. It doesnt need kneading after this, over kneading will make the donuts tough.
• Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover and leave in a warm place until it doubles in size. This takes about 15 minutes, this make take less or more time depending on temperature.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide into 15 even pieces.
• Using your hands, stretch the pieces out into a rough rectangle, approximately 6 x 1 in size, use your finger to make a small dip along the centre. Spoon 1-2 tsp of Nutella along the centre and fold the dough to meet in the middle lengthwise, seal.
• Roll into a log, giving it a bit more length. Fold the log in half, twisting each side around each other. Seal at the ends. The donuts will continue to grow a little as you make the others.
• Heat oil to 190C/375F in your fryer or a large saucepan (use enough oil so you have at least a few inches of oil below the donut). Line a large plate with a few layers of kitchen towel.
• Mix the sugar and cinnamon on a plate or shallow bowl.
• Fry the donuts until they are a dark golden brown, about 3 minutes each side. Fry MAX two at a time, any more and youll risk reducing the temperature of the oil and then youll end up with greasy donuts.
• Place the fried donuts on the kitchen towel lined plate to blot off excess oil.
• While theyre still hot roll in the cinnamon sugar mix, then leave to cool slightly
• Enjoy warm
