Ingredients

Scale
  • 60 ml milk
  • 120 ml water
  • 21 g active dry yeast
  • 50 g sugar
  • 550 g Manitoba flour (or bread flour)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 5 g salt
  • 70 g unsalted butter
  • 350 g chocolate spread
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine lukewarm milk, water, yeast, and sugar; stir and let sit until frothy (about 10 minutes).
  2. In a stand mixer with a dough hook, mix flour, eggs, egg yolk, salt, and the yeast mixture. Knead on low speed then increase to medium for about 6-8 minutes until smooth.
  3. Incorporate the butter and knead for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  4. Cover the dough with clingfilm; let it rise at room temperature for about 1 hour, then refrigerate for another 30 minutes.
  5. Roll out the dough into a rectangle; cut into triangles and roll into croissant shapes. Let rise until tripled in size (about 1 – 1½ hours).
  6. Heat oil in a pan to 170-180°C (340-355°F). Fry beignets in batches for about 6 minutes total (3 minutes covered, then flip).
  7. Dust with cinnamon sugar while warm and fill with chocolate spread using a pastry bag.
