A large, sturdy mixing bowl is essential for combining all your ingredients and letting the dough rise without any spills or mess.
Using a stand mixer with a hook attachment efficiently kneads the dough to the perfect consistency, saving you elbow grease.
Cling film is crucial for covering the dough and letting it rise undisturbed, ensuring it reaches its full potential.
To roll out the dough evenly, a good rolling pin will help you achieve the perfect thickness for frying and baking.
This type of pan ensures even heating, which is vital for frying the doughnuts to a perfect golden brown on both sides.
Lining your baking tray with parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup a breeze.
Variations
Faq
- Why didn't my dough rise?
Your yeast might be old or the milk could have been too hot or too cold. Make sure to check your yeast's expiration date and use milk at the correct temperature (104F | 40C).
- Can I use regular milk instead of vegetable milk?
Yes, regular milk can be used as a direct substitute for vegetable milk in this recipe.
- What's the best way to ensure my doughnuts have a uniform shape?
Rolling the dough evenly and using a doughnut cutter or a circular cutter for uniformity will help ensure consistent shapes and sizes.
- Can I prepare the dough in advance?
Yes, you can prepare the dough, let it rise, and then refrigerate it overnight. Just make sure to bring it to room temperature before frying or baking.
- How can I make the doughnuts extra light and fluffy?
Ensuring the dough is kneaded well and given ample time to rise in a warm environment will create superior fluffiness in your doughnuts.
- Can I air-fry the doughnuts instead of frying in oil?
Yes, air-frying is a healthier alternative. Preheat your air-fryer and cook the doughnuts at around 350°F (175°C) until golden brown, flipping halfway through for an even cook.
