Instructions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose wheat flour, sugar, matcha, and salt.
Add in the milk, egg yolks, whole egg, alcohol, lemon juice and zest, and mix everything well. Gradually incorporate the soft butter into the mixture.
Knead the dough until it's smooth and stretchy—this should take around 5 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or a damp towel.
Step 2
Allow the dough to rise in a warm area for approximately 90 to 120 minutes. Make sure to punch it down once during the rising process. The dough should increase in size to about three times its original volume.
Step 3
Once the dough has risen, divide it into about 20 to 24 pieces, with each piece weighing around 40 to 50 grams. For easier shaping, roll out the dough to a thickness of approximately 1.5 centimeters and cut out circular shapes.
Let the shaped donuts rest for another 45 to 60 minutes at room temperature to allow them to rise further.
Step 4
Heat the peanut oil in a deep fryer or a large pot to a temperature between 160 and 180 degrees Celsius (320 to 356 degrees Fahrenheit).
Carefully place the donuts into the hot oil, frying them until they turn golden brown. Use paper towels to drain excess oil from the donuts after frying.
Step 5
Using a small skewer, poke an opening into the fried donuts and fill them with your favorite filling. Finally, dust the finished donuts with a generous amount of powdered sugar and matcha for that extra touch. Serve and enjoy your delicious matcha donuts!

If you want to achieve perfectly shaped donuts, a donut cutter makes it much easier than using cups. You can find various sizes, so choose according to your preference!
For frying, having a deep fryer makes it simpler, but a heavy pot works well too. Make sure it's deep enough to avoid oil splatter.
This will ensure your oil is at the perfect temperature for frying, creating crispy donuts without absorbing too much oil!
Variations
Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend. Ensure that the mix contains xanthan gum for the best texture. Your gluten-free matcha donuts will still shine with flavor! 🌿
Vegan Version:To make these donuts vegan, replace the eggs with a flaxseed egg or applesauce, and use plant-based milk. You'll still enjoy that light, fluffy goodness without any animal products! 🌱😋
Faq
- Can I use all-purpose flour instead of bread flour?
Absolutely! All-purpose flour will work wonderfully as it provides a soft texture, but bread flour adds extra chewiness.
- How can I tell if my dough has risen enough?
When your dough has tripled in size, it's perfect! A quick poke test—if it holds the shape—means it’s ready to go!
- Is it necessary to punch down the dough?
Punching down the dough helps to release excess gas and allows for a more uniform rise, which is ideal for fluffy donuts.
- Can I bake the donuts instead of frying?
Yes! Though they won’t have the same texture, you can bake them at 350°F (175°C) for about 12-15 minutes for a lighter version.
- What if my donuts turn out too oily?
This is usually due to frying at a low temperature. Ensure your oil is hot enough (160-180°C) to create that perfect fry!
- How long can I store the leftover donuts?
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days, or freeze them for longer shelf life.
