Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast. Mix them well to ensure an even distribution of ingredients.

In another bowl, whisk together warm milk, eggs, and melted butter. Gradually incorporate the wet mixture into the dry ingredients.

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 2

Let the Dough Rise

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl, covering it with a damp cloth. Let it rise in a warm area for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 3

Shape the Doughnuts

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Roll out the dough to about 1.5 cm (1/2 inch) thick.

Using a doughnut cutter or two round cookie cutters, cut out your doughnuts and place them on a floured baking sheet. Allow them to rise again for another 30-45 minutes.

Step 4

Fry the Doughnuts

Heat oil in a deep fryer or heavy pot to 180°C (350°F). Carefully place the doughnuts into the hot oil, frying them until they are golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes each.

Remove the doughnuts from the oil and let them drain on paper towels.

Step 5

Fill and Serve

Once the doughnuts have cooled, you can fill them with your choice of fillings (e.g., banana miso latte, tiramisu Bellini, etc.).

Dust them with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar before serving for that extra touch of sweetness!

Faq

  • What temperature should I fry the doughnuts at?

    For the best frying results, aim for an oil temperature of about 350°F (175°C). This ensures they cook evenly and get that lovely golden color.

  • Can I make the dough in advance?

    Absolutely! You can prepare the dough ahead of time and refrigerate it. Just make sure to bring it back to room temperature before frying.

  • How can I make my doughnuts fluffier?

    Make sure not to over-knead the dough, as this can lead to denser doughnuts. A gentle touch and letting the dough rest will help achieve that fluffy texture!

  • What’s the best way to store leftover doughnuts?

    Store your leftover doughnuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them!

  • Could I bake these doughnuts instead of frying?

    Yes! You can bake doughnuts in a doughnut pan for a healthier alternative. Just adjust the baking time according to the recipe.

  • How do I get my fillings evenly distributed in the doughnuts?

    Make sure to inject the filling using a piping bag with a long tip to ensure that each doughnut is nicely filled. Experiment with different filling placements for creativity!
