Roasted-Tomato and Marinated Mozzarella- Stuffed Dougnuts

Makes 12 doughnuts

Ingredients
  

  • 6 cups (750 grams) all-purpose flour
  • cups (360 grams) whole milk, chilled
  • 1/3 cup (67 grams) granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 large eggs (100 grams)
  • 1 tablespoon (6 grams) instant yeast
  • 1 tablespoon (6 grams) garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons (6 grams) fine sea salt
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • Roasted Tomato and Marinated Mozzarella Filling (recipe follows)
  • cups (172 grams) finely grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook attachment, beat flour, milk, sugar, melted butter, eggs, yeast, garlic powder, and salt at low speed for 3 minutes. Increase mixer speed to medium, and beat for 1 minute. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough in bowl, turning to grease top. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight.
  • Remove dough from refrigerator, and let come to room temperature, 1 to 1½ hours.
  • In a medium stockpot, pour oil to a depth of 4 inches, and heat over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 325°F (170°C). Place a wire rack over a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
  • Divide dough into 12 (106-gram) pieces. Working with one piece of dough at a time, use your hands to press dough into a 4-inch round. Place 2 to 3 tomatoes and 2 mozzarella pearls from Roasted Tomato and Marinated Mozzarella Filling in center of round. Bring edges of dough around filling, and pinch to seal. Roll dough gently on a lightly floured surface to help seal dough and shape it into a round. Repeat with remaining dough and filling.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place Parmesan in an even layer in a shallow bowl.
  • Working in batches, fry doughnuts until deeply golden brown and reaches the internal temperature of 190°F/88°C to 200°F/93°C, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove using a slotted spoon, and place on prepared rack. Let drain for 30 seconds; toss in Parmesan to coat. Place on a baking sheet.
  • Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. (This ensures that doughnuts are cooked all the way through without overbrowning in the fryer.) Let cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
