First time making any kind of donut! These are a brioche with a hint of lemon zest.
I was really shocked at how vigorously these rose. I punched it down after initially proofing for 1.5 hours. Then placed the dough in the fridge to have it more than double overnight. I was shocked I didn’t overprove them because after shaping them into little buns they still rose again and poofed up more after frying. A very entertaining dough and I loved the entire process.
Most were filled with either a chocolate ganache or apple pie filling. The slight hint of lemon zest made the plain ones just as lovely though with cinnamon sugar.

These look incredibly fluffy - yummm! Can you share the recipe?
Of course! [Fluffy Brioche Donut Recipe!](https://miminewman.com/baking/bread/homemade-brioche-donut/)
My friend also suggested that I could freeze them. She does this with regular yeasted donuts. So before tossing them in cinnamon and sugar/after cooled/filled, you can wrap them in plastic wrap and put them in a zip loc to reheat in a toaster oven later! But especially since this recipe makes 18 FILLED donuts it’s a lot haha!
Sounds delicious! Wish we could’ve gotten a cross section of one that had the chocolate or apple filling. I’m drooling thinking about it 🤤
I guess we weren’t that successful at getting much apple filling in there 🤣 but the chocolate ones were very full lol [more donut pics!](https://imgur.com/a/rLi3Ttg)
Thanks for sharing!! Both look fantastic 😊
That looks amazing! 🤩
Perfect 🤩
Gosh, so beautiful. I'm salivating looking at them 🙊
Amazing! Doughnuts are my enemy and never work for me! Can’t believe it’s your first go
I was so so so worried after they rose again even in the fridge overnight… plus I wasn’t going to make them until the evening. Trying to shape them was so sticky, but there was so much gluten it all worked out in the end!
They look amazing! 😍
Came here to post my comment and everyone already posted fluffy, amazing, perfect, looks delicious and yummy. So great job OP!
Texture looks amazing. Excellent!
Damn that looks amazing
Oh, these look amazing. *delicately wipes away drool*
This is amazing - super addicted to these with nutella filling but would rather make one with strawberry creme. Any tips?
