Ingredients
Yeast Dough
500g(4cups)Bread flouror 50% bread and 50% all-purpose flour
Dry ingredients - In a bowl, combine flour, salt, and grated nutmeg.
500 g Bread flour, ¼ tsp Nutmeg, ½ tsp Kosher salt
Yeast - In a bowl of a stand mixer with the hook attachment, combine warm milk, sugar, yeast, egg, and vanilla.
240 g Warm milk , 100 g Egg , 7 g Instant dry yeast , 30 g Sugar, 1 tsp Vanilla extract
Knead - Add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture and combine at medium to high speed until all the flour is well incorporated, making sure to scrape the bottom and sides of the bowl. Then knead for 4 to 5 minutes on medium speed.
Butter - Next, add the butter and continue to knead for 3 to 4 minutes more or until you have a smooth, elastic dough.
30 g Butter
Bowl - Place the dough in a large greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap and let rise for 60 to 90 minutes or until double in volume.
Stuff and shaping
Divide - Once double in volume - invert on a floured surface. Divide the dough into half and each half into 4 or 6 portions - making 12 small or 8 medium donuts.
Stuff - Roll each portion into a ball and stuff it with one Ferrero Rocher. Place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet dusted with flour to prevent sticking.
