Description

These homemade yeast doughnuts are the ultimate comfort treat, offering a tender, pillowy interior and a crisp, golden exterior. Made with a blend of bread flour for structure and all-purpose flour for tenderness, enriched with butter and dry milk powder for a deeper flavor and better browning. The dough is fried to perfection, creating a light texture that holds up beautifully to various toppings. Whether you prefer them simple and dusted with powdered sugar, rolled in cinnamon sugar, or glazed with chocolate, these doughnuts are a versatile centerpiece for weekend brunches, holiday breakfasts, or a sweet afternoon pick-me-up. They taste best when served warm, straight from the fryer.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine the bread flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, dry milk powder, and salt in the bowl of a bread machine or a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the softened butter and water to the dry ingredients.
  3. If using a bread machine, place the dry yeast in the yeast holder or on top of the flour, ensuring it does not touch the liquid yet.
  4. Select the "Basic Dough" or "Dough Only" setting and press start. Allow the machine to knead and rise the dough for approximately 2 hours and 25 minutes, or until doubled in size.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently divide the dough into 12 equal portions.
  6. Roll each portion into a smooth ball. Place the balls on a lightly floured surface, cover with plastic wrap, and let them rest for 20 minutes to relax the gluten.
  7. Shape each rested ball into your desired doughnut form: a ring, a twist, or an oval. For rings, poke a hole through the center with your finger.
  8. Place the shaped doughnuts on a greased baking sheet or parchment-lined tray. Cover loosely and proof at a warm temperature (around 90&# 194;°F/32ðC) for 30 minutes, or until nearly doubled in volume.
  9. While the dough proofs, heat oil in a deep pot or fryer to 360ðF (182ðC).
  10. Carefully lower the proofed doughnuts into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
  11. Fry until golden brown on both sides, turning once halfway through, which should take about 1 to 2 minutes per side.
  12. Remove the fried doughnuts with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
  13. Let the doughnuts cool slightly. While warm, roll in cinnamon sugar, dip in melted chocolate, or dust with powdered sugar.
  14. Optionally, fill with jelly or custard using a piping bag before serving. Enjoy immediately.
