Chocolate Chip Sweet Doughnuts

1.In a small bowl, combine warm milk, warm water, and yeast. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.

2.In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt.

3.Add the frothy yeast mixture, egg, and melted butter to the dry ingredients. Mix until a dough forms.

4.Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

5.Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until doubled in size.

6.Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out to about 1/2 inch thickness on a floured surface.

7.Using a doughnut cutter or two round cutters, cut out doughnut shapes. Place them on a floured baking sheet.

8.Cover the cut doughnuts with a cloth and let them rise for another 30 minutes.

9.In a deep pot, heat oil to 350°F (175°C) for frying.

10.Carefully place the doughnuts in the hot oil, frying a few at a time until golden brown on both sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.

11.Remove the doughnuts from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

12.While still warm, fill each doughnut with chocolate chips by using a piping bag or a small knife to create a small hole and insert the chocolate chips inside.

13.Dust the doughnuts with powdered sugar before serving.
