طريقة التحضير

  1. 1
    In a bowl, combine the dry yeast, flour, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  2. 2
    In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, egg, lukewarm milk, and vanilla extract.
  3. 3
    Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ones and knead the dough until it’s smooth, elastic, and no longer sticks to the bowl. Add more flour if needed.
  4. 4
    Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour until it doubles in size.
  5. 5
    Roll out the risen dough to about 1.5 cm thickness on a lightly floured surface.
  6. 6
    Use a round cookie cutter to cut out donuts, and for the center hole, use a smaller cutter. Knead the remaining dough and cut more donuts until the dough is used up.
  7. 7
    Let the cut donuts rise again, covered, for approximately 30 minutes until they puff up.
  8. 8
    Heat the frying oil in a pot to around 160-170°C.
  9. 9
    Fry the donuts in the hot oil until they’re golden brown on both sides, which should only take a few minutes. Flip them to ensure even frying.
  10. 10
    Remove the donuts from the oil and let them drain and cool on a paper towel.
  11. 11
    Melt the chocolate glaze to your taste (dark or milk) and stir in a teaspoon of butter for a smooth texture.
  12. 12
    Dip one side of the cooled donuts into the melted chocolate glaze and let them dry on a rack. If you like, you can drizzle white chocolate stripes on top.

Donuts Questions

To create the perfect homemade donuts, you will need a selection of essential ingredients that contribute to their flavor and texture. The primary ingredients include 45 grams of melted butter, 7 grams of dry yeast, 350 to 375 grams of all-purpose flour, one large egg, 150 milliliters of lukewarm milk, a teaspoon of vanilla extract, a pinch of salt, 60 grams of sugar, vegetable oil for frying, and a chocolate glaze if desired.

Achieving the perfect texture in your homemade donuts involves several critical steps: kneading the dough until smooth and elastic (about 8 to 10 minutes), allowing it to rise in a warm place for at least one hour, rolling out to approximately 1.5 cm thick, allowing cut donuts to rise for another 30 minutes, and maintaining the oil temperature between 160-170°C (320-340°F) while frying.

Absolutely! You can customize your homemade donuts with various flavors and toppings. Consider adding spices like cinnamon, infusing with citrus zest, or using various toppings like powdered sugar, sweet glaze, crushed nuts, sprinkles, or even filling with jams or custards before frying.

To store leftover donuts, allow them to cool completely, then place them in an airtight container. They can be kept at room temperature for a day or two or refrigerated for up to a week. For longer storage, you can freeze them for up to three months, thawing them at room temperature or warming slightly in the microwave before serving.

To fry donuts for crispy results, heat your oil to 160-170°C (320-340°F). Use a thermometer for accuracy, fry in small batches to avoid lowering the oil temperature, flip halfway through cooking, and drain on paper towels immediately after frying to remove excess oil.
