DOUGH FOR DONUTS 😋
Making dough for donuts is a straightforward process that requires basic ingredients like flour, sugar, yeast, milk, butter, eggs, and salt. Start by activating the yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar.
Ingredients:
300 grams of wheat flour
15 grams of yeast
2 butter spoons
80 grams of sugar
2 eggs
250 milliliters of water
Half a tablespoon of salt
If we choose the frying method, oil; If it is baked, it will not be necessary, although you can spread them a little in butter if you do not have baking paper or onion.
Preparation:
1. The first step is to sift the flour, then mix with the sugar, yeast and salt.
2. Then make a volcano and in the center add the melted butter, which can be melted in the microwave, also add the eggs, mix well until there are no lumps.
3. Next, pour into the water little by little while continuing to mix, then knead with your hands.
4. When the dough no longer sticks to your hands, form a ball and cover it with plastic wrap, leave it for 1 hour so that it rests and doubles in size.
5. After the resting time, cover the work table with flour, place the dough there and roll it out with the help of the rolling pin. When it is very thin, cut the donuts to the size of your preference.
6. Afterwards cover them and let them rest for another half hour, it is best to leave them in a warm place.
7. Next, the donuts must be cooked, for this there are two options. One is to fry them in plenty of oil, they should be golden brown on both sides, when they are ready they are removed and placed on absorbent paper to eliminate excess oil. The second option is to put them in the oven, for this it is necessary to grease a tray with butter and then sprinkle with flour, put the donuts there and put them in the oven preheated to 200º C for 10 minutes.
8. Then you need to let them cool and finally decorate them to your liking, you can sprinkle them with powdered sugar and cinnamon, some glaze with sugar or even fill them with jam, arequipe, chocolate or any other of your preference, either way they look great.
