Introduction
This yeast-raised doughnut recipe is heavily adapted from Heidi Swanson’s website, and made to mimic the Tim Horton’s triple chocolate doughnut. Don't over bake these, if anything, under bake them a bit - they will continue baking outside the oven for a few minutes. You want an interior that is moist and tender - not dry. The dough can be made and baked a day ahead if necessary (store loosely covered at room temperature), but they need to be served within a few hours of being filled and glazed, otherwise they will go soggy.

Ingredients
-
1/3 cups warm water
1 tsp honey
1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
½ cup warm milk
½ cup warm water
2 tablespoons canola oil
½ cup sugar
2 eggs
3 cups flour
2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 1.4-oz boxes Jell-O fat-free / sugar-free chocolate pudding, prepared and chilled
1 ¼ cups Splenda Granulated (or sugar)
¼ cup cornstarch
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons hot water
2 oz white chocolate, melted
Directions
Place warm water in the bowl of an electric mixer. Stir in the honey and yeast and set aside for 10 minutes.
Combine warm milk, warm water, oil and sugar. Add it to the yeast mixture and blend well.
Stir in the eggs, flours and salt just until the flour is incorporated.
With the dough hook attachment of your mixer beat the dough for a few minutes at medium speed.
If your dough is overly sticky, add flour a few tablespoons at a time. Too dry? Add more milk a bit at a time. You want the dough to pull away from the sides of the mixing bowl and eventually become supple and smooth.
Turn it out onto a floured counter-top, knead a few times (the dough should be barely sticky), and shape into a ball.
Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, cover, put in a warm place.
Let rise for an hour or until the dough has roughly doubled in size.
Punch down the dough and roll it out 1/2-inch thick on your floured countertop. Cut out circles using a round cookie cutter or glass.
Transfer the circles to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Cover with a clean cloth and let rise for another 45 minutes.
Bake in a 375 degree oven 8 minutes.
Cool completely on wire rack.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a Bismark tube (like Ateco #230 or #231) with the prepared pudding.
Fill each doughnut with the pudding, do not over-fill!
Blend Splenda, cornstarch and cocoa powder in a blender or food processor until powdery. Pour into a shallow bowl, whisk in hot water until a thick but spreadable paste is formed.
Dip filled doughnuts in the icing, set back on rack to cool.
Drizzle melted white chocolate on the iced doughnuts.
Serve when chocolate has set.
