Instructions

1. Put the milk, sugar and yeast in the mixer bowl fitted with the dough hook. Whisk together and rest for 7-8 minutes until the yeast forms a puffy foam on top.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla and melted butter.
3. Add the flour mixture and the egg mixture to the mixer bowl.
4. Knead on low speed (speed 2 on a KitchenAid) for 8 minutes.
5. Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, turn to coat, cover and let rise until doubled, about 1-2 hours. Or slow-rise overnight in the fridge.
6. Roll the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1 1/2-inch rounds and place on a parchment-lined tray. Re-roll the scraps once and cut more rounds, as re-rolling makes the dough denser. Cover and rest for 30 minutes until slightly puffy (not doubled).
7. Meanwhile, fill a piping bag fitted with a star tip with Nutella, filling it only halfway. Set a cooling rack over a baking tray. Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a shallow bowl.
8. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350°F.
9. Fry about 6-7 donuts at a time until golden all over, about 3 minutes. Lift out with a spider strainer and let excess oil drip back into the pot.
10. Toss the hot donuts in the cinnamon sugar until coated and place on the rack.
11. Pierce the side of each donut with a skewer or knife to make room for the filling.
12. When the donuts have cooled to room temperature, pipe in the chocolate filling. Serve immediately.
