How to make donuts the old way

Making donuts may seem like a complicated process, but we promise, it's a lot easier than you think!


I initially thought that the manufacture of donuts would be a complicated process. Fry the donuts at home? It seems impossible! But I was shocked to know that learning to make donuts was actually easy to do. Make the dough is similar to the process of making homemade bread, but instead of cooking baked bread, you simply fry them in the oil. Hardened in homemade icing and garnished with colorful sprinkles, these old homemade donuts compete with the type you buy at adonut store. Of course, the process will take longer than just going to a store, but it's a fun activity to do at home with your family and friends.

So, if you have already wanted to learn how to make donuts, here is my step by step guide.

Here is an easy step tutorial to follow you!

Ingredients

For donuts

4 cups of flour
1/2 c.
1 packet of dry yeast (about 2 1/4 c.
2/3 cup of milk
1/4 cup of sugar and 1 tbsp. Separated
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract

How to do it

1

Yeast

To activate dry yeast, warm the 2/3 cup of milk in the microwave for 45 seconds. Add to the sugar teaspoon and dry yeast packet. Incorporate and let it rest for at least 8 to 10 minutes until yeast has flowered (it will be bubble on the top).

Hot Board: If yeast does not bloom, your milk was probably too hot. Try again, but this time heat the milk for a shorter period. It should be hot, but do not smoke hot.

2

Mix the yeast with wet ingredients

3

Sprinkle in flour and salt. Mix with a spatula. When the dough starts to form, you will need to start mixing the dough with your hands.

4

Knead the dough on a floured surface

Sprinkle the flour on a clean meter and move the dough to the floured surface. Knead the dough until it becomes elastic - it should only take a few minutes. If you prefer not to knead with your hands, you can always mix and knead the dough with a dough hook with a stand mixer (like the one onThis kitchen device defined)

5

Shape

Spray a clean bowl with cooking spray, then place the dough in the bowl. Cover it with a kitchen towel, then place it in a warm place.

7

Let it rise for 1 hour and a half

Let the dough increase for at least an hour, but it will probably need 1 hour and a half to form fully.

9

Deploy the dough

Place the raised dough on a floured surface and roll it with a rolling pin. The dough must be about 1/2 inch thick.

10

Form in the donuts

Using aDonut cutter, Cut the forms of donut in the dough. Once you have cut enough, remove the forms of donut on a sheet sheet, roll the dough and continue the process until you do not have enough dough. You should have enough to train 16 donuts.

11

Leave the forms of donut increase for 30 minutes

Place the donut forms on a saucepan with parchment paper and cover a towel for a second mounted. This time you will only need 30 minutes.

12

Fry in heated oil

While the donuts rose a second time, fill a pot (likeThis Dutch oven) with canola oil. It will take some time to heat up, so it would be good to do while rising. When the oil begins to move visibly, it is hot enough (usually about 350 to 375 degrees).

13

Return the donuts after 1-2 minutes

Slowly place the donuts (and donut holes) in the frying oil using aspider filter. Let the donuts cook on each side for 1 to 2 minutes or until the golden brown. The holes of donuts will probably cook faster! Move the baked donuts to a cooling rack.

14

Icing
