2 Tsp Active dry yeast 3 Cups All-purpose flour
2 Tbsp Sugar 1 Egg
2 Tbsp Butter (soft) 8 Cups Canola Oil
Toppings
Plain Donuts:
Icing sugar for decoration
Sprinkled Donuts:
1/2 Cup Milk chocolate chunks
6 Tbsp Cream
Colorful sprinkles for decoration
Prep time: 2.5 hours
Servings: 10-12 donuts
Equipment: 2 large bowls, measuring cups and spoons, plastic wrap/kitchen linen, small
round cookie cutter, sieve, kettle, baking paper, skimmer, sauce pan, frying pan
Method:
- As usual, get started by preparing the dough!
- Slightly warm up the milk to be lukewarm, and it into a large bowl.
- Add in the dry yeast and mix.
- Then add your sugar, salt, butter, egg and flour.
- Mix until the dough comes together.
- Sprinkle some flour on a clean kitchen surface, and knead the dough there for 10 minutes.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place in an large, oiled bowl.
- Cover the bowl with linen or plastic wrap, and let the dough rise for an hour.
- Place your risen dough onto the kitchen surface.
- Punch down on the dough to release the air, and then divide the dough into 10 – 12 equal
pieces.
- Shape the pieces into balls, and arrange them on to a large tray.
- Gently flatten with your palm and cut a hole in the middle with a small round cookie
cutter.
- Cover donuts with linen or plastic wrap ,and let them rise one more time for 30 minutes.
- In a frying pan, heat up the canola oil to 180C (356F).
- Fry 2 to 3 donuts at a time, depending on how many fit in your pan.
- Be careful, hot oil can burn you!
- Cook each side for 1 minute.
- Carefully remove cooked donuts from the oil, and onto a tray lined with a paper towel. Let
them cool down before decorating.
In the meantime, let’s make the chocolate glaze!
- In a pot, measure in your chocolate chunks and cream.
- As the chocolate warms up and melts, mix until you have a smooth and creamy
consistency.
- Let it cool down a bit.
- Dip one side of the donut in the warm glaze and top with colorful sprinkles.
- Top some donuts with the chocolate and sprinkles, and some can be drizzled with icing
sugar.
