Preparation

• In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Add yeast mixture, melted butter, and egg. Mix until a dough forms.
• Knead dough on a floured surface for 5-7 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise for 1 hour until doubled.
• Punch down dough and roll out to ½-inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut circles. Place a small piece of burrata in the center of half the circles, top with another circle, and seal edges tightly.
• Heat oil in a deep pot to 350°F. Fry donuts in batches for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Drain on paper towels.
• Drizzle hot honey over warm donuts, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, and garnish with fresh basil. Serve immediately.
