  6. Once the dough has risen tip out onto a lightly floured surface.
  7. Divide into 12 pieces and shape into balls and flatten. Place on a lightly floured tray, cover with a cloth again and allow to prove for another 10-15 minutes.
  8. Fill a large-sized pan with sunflower oil and heat to about 160˚C.
  9. Drop the doughnuts into the oil, 2-3 at a time, and fry on each side until golden brown.
  10. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and continue frying until all doughnuts are done.
  11. Place the caster sugar in a large bowl and toss each doughnut in caster sugar once cooked and allow to cool.
  12. Once cooled fill with the Nutella chocolate filling.
