Step 1

For the dough, whisk together slightly warmed milk, yeast, and sugar. Wait until foamy. Then add flour and egg. Mix with dough hook or you can also do this by hand. When the dough starts to come together, mix/knead through the softened butter. The dough should be elastic. Place dough in an oiled bowl covered and let rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.

Step 2

Once dough has risen, roll and cut out roughly 8 medium donut rings. Place on parchment and cover with a cloth to proof one last time for 30 min.

Step 3

Fry in sunflower or any neutral oil, flip when golden. Fry one first to test oil temperature. The donuts should be golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove from oil and allow to cool on paper towel.

Step 4

For the chocolate coating, melt white chocolate over a double boiler and whisk in matcha.

Step 5

For the frog, dip Smarties candy or almonds into chocolate and insert into donuts to make eyes. Allow to set. Dip the donut halfway into the chocolate and allow excess to drip off. Finally, pipe on mouth, eyes, and nose with milk chocolate. I used sprinkles for the cheeks and highlights of the eyes.
